#1 500 years before a child was born in Bethlehem written in the Book of Psalms by King David;

the kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
3 Let us break Their bonds asunder, and cast away Their cords from us.
4 He that sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure:
6 Yet have I set My King upon My holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: The Lord hath said unto Me, Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee.

500 years later when his Son was born the following eternal prediction was made:

16 Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

#2 David was actually about 1000 years before Christ.

In the 590-590 BC decade, King Zedekiah of Judah was making a complete hash of his rule, trying to build alliances to fight off the Babylonians and tearing down buildings to shore up the gates that the Babylonians were battering. This despite repeated warnings from the prophets that he was ignoring God's command to fight the evils of his administration, and serve the Babylonians as a vassal state so that he could concentrate on cleaning up his government.

During that time, Jeremiah's cousin went broke, and asked Jeremiah to bail him out by buying a field about 7 miles out of town. This was the protocol when you were down on your luck: Sell your land to the nearest relative, who would restore the land to you in the Year of Jubilee. Jeremiah bought the field, despite the derision of a number of witnesses; and he said that God promised that people would buy and sell again in that land, and God Himself would dwell among them, and be their righteousness.

God terrifies dictators of every stripe, from the Dear Leader to every tinpot politician, like the Freedom From Religion goons who are trying to force the La Crosse Police Dept to stop using volunteer chaplains to comfort crime victims.
