The role of the Jubilee to mark the end of a captivity is a recurrent theme in the Bible. When Zerubbabel was appointed, Ezra says: And in the 1st year of Cyrus [538 BCE] (...) Whoever there is among you of all his people, may his God prove to be with him. So let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and rebuild the house of Jehovah the God of Israel-he is the [true] God-which was in Jerusalem (Ezr 1:1-3). Zerubbabel's mission was twofold: To gather the Jews (Ne 1:8,9; 7:5) and to rebuild the temple (Ezr 3:1,2): And it must occur in that day that there will be the root of Jesse [Zerubbabel] that will be standing up as a signal for the peoples [in 538]. To him even the nations will turn inquiringly, and his resting-place must become glorious [the temple will be rebuilt] (...) to acquire the remnant of his people who will remain over from Assyria and from Egypt and from Pathros and from Cush and from Elam and from Shinear and from Hamath and from the islands of the sea. And he will certainly raise up a signal for the nations and gather the dispersed ones of Israel; and the scattered ones of Judah he will collect together from the four extremities of the earth (Is 11:10-12). The gathering of the dispersed ones would end by a Jubilee: The spirit of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah is upon me [Zerubbabel, according to Zechariah 4:6-14], for the reason that Jehovah has anointed me to tell good news to the meek ones. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to those taken captive [in 518/517 a Jubilee will put an end to the desolation] and the wide opening [of the eyes] even to the prisoners (...) And they must rebuild the long-standing devastated places; they will raise up even the desolated places of former times, and they will certainly make anew the devastated cities, the places desolate (Is 61:1-4). According to the Gospels, Zerubbabel's mission foretold in details that of Jesus. We read in Luke that Jesus proclaimed a year of liberation to come (Lk 4:18), and John reports that this liberation (Jubilee year) was to exceed a traditional Jubilee (Jn 8:36). This year of liberation is linked to Jesus' death in 33 CE (Rm 8:2), which marked a Jubilee (the one of 133 CE is well attested238). The Biblical chronology, based on Jubilee cycles, then is independent from other chronologies.

538: Liberation (in a political sense) from Babylon under the leadership of Zerubbabel, who was appointed as governor in Cyrus' 1st year (Ezr 1:1,4) to restore the temple and gather other captives disseminated in Egypt, Assyria, etc. End of the Jubilee cycle.
