It was the mighty Roman Empire that ruled in the end of the Oldtestament and the New Testament as well.
The Philistines were a sea people who arrived in the Levant around 1250 BCE and settled in the fertile coastal plains and foothills from the Egyptian border north to present-day Tel Aviv. Over time, they absorbed a wave of Nabatean immigrants and were then culturally absorbed by their Canaanite neighbours to the north. After the Alexandrian conquests, they absorbed the Greek language and culture, as did their neighbours, other than the Jews. Because of this, by New Testament times we find them sometimes see them referred to by the Jews as "Greeks", sometimes as gentiles. The former Philistines were pagans in the Roman Empire, but with the arrival of Christianity, became Christians. The Arabs overran Palestine in the seventh century CE, after which most became Muslims but a significant number remained Christians even to this day. Modern Palestinians are considered to be descended from various races in the region, including Philistines, Canaanites, Greeks, Romans, Nabataeans, Peninsular Arabs and others.

If you accept the Biblical Doctrine of Preservation, then yes you can rely on it. The Doctrine of Preservation states that it was a promise of God to preserve the word of God for all generations, and that it is kept by His divine power. Psalm 12:6-7 is but one example of this promise. Generations are measurements of time are bound to earth. Preservation is the act of protecting or preserving something from harm or contamination, and since there is nothing in Heaven to contaminate the Word, that also fixes the place of this preservation on Earth. That means that we must in fact have the preserved Word of God, an incorruptable word. Are there inconsistencies? Yes. But God also answer why they are there: God chose the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. The Word of God must be approached by faith, not science or intellect. The carnal (natural) mind is emnity (at warfare) with God and will always find fault with His word. Eyewitness Testimony:Luke says he gathered eyewitness testimony and "carefully investigated everything" (Luke 1:1-4). John testifies to his firsthand experience with the resurrected Christ. John says "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched this we proclaim concerning the Word of Life." Peter said " We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty (2 Peter 1:16),Says Dr. Simon Greenleafe in his work A Treatise on the Law of Evidence, "The great truths which the apostles declared were that Christ had risen from the dead, and that only through repentance from sin, and faith in Him, could men hope for salvation. This doctrine they asserted with one voice, everywhere, not only under the greatest discouragements, but in the face of the most appalling terror than can be presented to the mind of man." Based on these statements we should conclude that the New Testament is reliable.

First the Assyrians, then the Babylonians, followed by the Persian Empire, the Greeks and finally by the Romans.
The Greek Period from 323 to 167 B.C., followed by The Jewish Indepence 167 to 63 B.C., then Then Roman Period 63 B.C. to A.D. 70.
By the end of the old testement, Persia had already defeated Babylon and through it's king Cyrus, the exiles returned to their land. What the Old Testement doesn't cover is the Hellenist period in which the Jews were subject to the Greeks for quite a while until the rebellion of Judas Macabee. After a 100 year monarchy of the Jews, the Romans finally took over and would be in charge for hundreds of years.
No. In the Old Testament, God told the children of Israel not to intermarry with the surrounding cultures, as they have foreign gods. And in the New Testament, he tells believes to be evenly yoked, meaning at the very least, marrying a fellow believer, not an unsaved person.
Every person in Old Testament had character flawsEve blamed the serpent while Adam blamed both Eve and God for their transgression - no personal responsibility.Cain was jealous of Abel leading to murder.Samson had affinity for foreign women especially for Delilah.Saul (first King of Israel) was impatient and prideful doing his way not God's way.David committed adultery with Bathsheba then had her husband murdered.Solomon's "foreign policy" was marrying women of foreign lands. He had 700 wives and 300 concubines.For most people in the Old Testament you don't have to look very hard to find a character flaw. Daniel on the other hand is one person that would be hard to point out a character flaw.
Palestine is one country with (currently) two governments and a foreign military occupation. Historic Palestine is made of two countries: Israel and Palestine.

Answer 1In the Old testament God said "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth" means you can fight against your enemy to protect your country, but in the new testament it doesn't say that so its really confusing should you follow the new testament but not the old testament? Bible is the true word of God follow the word.Answer 2The Bible says nothing on the subject of patriotism and that is because such a concept, loyalty to a nation-state's fundamental rasion d'être, did not exist in the Biblical Period. In the Old Testament, the Israelite are commanded to take the land and hold onto it against foreign aggression, but in those days, if you lost your land your were liable to be slaughtered, so it was self-preservation. Modern patriotism and fighting for your country is a question of prestige and personal choice. This is beyond the scope of the Bible.Most Christian theologians do not hold that the "Turn the other cheek" passage refers to international conflict and defense of your life and freedom are endorsed by the current churches.
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia states that Nekoda is the head of a family in Nethinim (mentioned several times in the Old Testament in the Bible). It also means "painted, inconstant."
