It was 2500 years ago today ...

Well, maybe today (if you reckon by Julian), but certainly it was 2500 years ago this year, that the prophecies of Haggai (and some to Zechariah) were revealed. Especially interesting to me are the final two prophecies of Haggai (2:10-19 and 2:19-end), both dated 24 Kislev. 

The first of these two speaks of this day— prior to which provisions were always turning out to be shorter and more depleted than expected because the people would not "return to" the Lord, but after which (after they returned to him) he promised: "From this day on I will bless you." (2:19).
