Please help me to discover the "meaning" in that it was exactly Seven Jewish Sabbath years between the 70 AD Jewish Diaspora out of Israel, and the 64 AD Great Christian Holocaust persecutions by the Romans ?

It means that the majority of what was written as "end times" took place in 70 ad. The 7 years of tribulation were those 7 years that culminated with the destruction of the temple, and the entire Jewish cultus. "Heaven and Earth passed away". The temple/heaven and the land of Israel/earth were decimated. Not one stone was left on another (the wailing wall is part of Fort Antonia, not part of the temple). The outward literal types had vanished. "Now we know no man after the flesh". The falling away had already occurred. Many fell back into the outward religion of judaism. They turned back to their dark god of death and sacrifice. They rejected the message of Life and Love of the Spirit. They tried to overthrow the rulers with carnal weapons, and died. Rome/the world destroyed Israel the land, and burned the bodies of the obstinate people in hell--gehenna--the Valley of Ben Hinom where bodies of the jewish nationalists who tried to overthrow Rome with literal swords were burned.
This all took place. There is no future hell that God will punish in. there is no future 7 years where God is going to smite mankind with all kinds of ills. No this happened, and it wasn't at the hands of God, but at the hands of men. The same men who have killed all the prophets from Able to Zechariah.
Repent to all who think that is how God is, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, it is inside. Repent is a Metanoia Meta=outside/above (like metaphysics) Noia/Nous=mind. Jesus said to tear down the literal temple. That is the temple of the flesh, or the mind=nous. that is the kingdom of this world, that like Peter is of Satan "get behind me satan" who tries to stop the plan of the Son which is to go by the new way, that of self offering. Not of violent overthrow. Again Peter tried to take up his sword and he cut of the High Priest's slaves ear, but Jesus told him to put away his sword. And he also denied the opportunity to call down an army of angels at his death.
Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. It is already here. Men try to take it by force, they try and force Jesus to be king of this world order, by carnal mean... literal swords.
This is written to all who think that God is like you, and is going to bring wrath upon men, his beloved creation. Who hold on to the pagan/jewish image of the god who brings good and evil, life and death. That image of god was destroyed at the 70th year. Stop resurrecting the old man, and his vile image, the desirable image that was seated in the Holy of Holies. Your image, the image of the beast, the image of the carnal man. That is the anti-christ, the mind of adam, or the natural mind that wants denies that The Christ Has Come, and Is Come in the Flesh. The word is tabernacled in you, the seed fell into the ground/the adamah/adam soil. "just as christ IS so are YOU in the world". He is not out there waiting to come down and bring terror. That is what the mind of man imagines. That is Not the Father and the Son, the Spirit of Liberty, that is seen in the Mirror. The veil need be removed that is the Revelation of Jesus Christ in you, me, all of humanity, and all of creation. "All creation is waiting with baited breath for the Unveiling/Removing of the veil of Flesh/Revelation/Apocalypse of the Sons of God (Rom 8, Rev 1)"

The present country of Israel will be aged 70 years old in May of 2018 ( 2018 - 1948 = 70 ).
When the present country of Israel was aged 40 years old in 1988, the USA had it's worse ever weather year in the USA's history. Do any web search of "Drought USA 1988" to learn more.
Does the number 40 have any special spiritual significance ?
It was exactly "Seven" years ( Jewish "Sabbath" Seven years ) between (1) the beginning of the Great Christian ( Holocaust ) 250 years long persecutions that were started by the Roman Emperor Nero that began in ( the "seventh" month ) July of 64 AD, and until (2) the 70 AD Jewish Diaspora ( with the Seventh Sabbath year from July 70 AD to July 71 AD ).
