He inadvertently said 'Roman' empire; it was, of course, before that which was the 'Greek' empire! Only the descendant of Dovid Hamelech can be Moshiach!

Thanks Moshe.
That was the point of his entire shiur.

Learned that the Philistines were a people from one of the Greek Islands. The word means 'invaders'; that's the only way where they compare perfectly to the so-called non-people, 'palestinians' who are Arabs as above commenter, DG, mentions.
Also, want to mention that eventually the Greeks sort of morphed into the Romans, who became like them, but more vicious. Because of the disunity and in-fighting of the Jews, who invited them in to help, we are still suffering from that galut.

I hope this helps.
