In 17 AD, a Jubilee Year, the Lord was crucified, died and descended into the heart of the earth to set the captives free who were held there in Abraham's bosom. He then returned them, after His glorious resurrection on First-fruits, to their own families in heaven. "Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family."[Lev.25:9.10]

A similar thing is about to happen again in 2017, a Jubilee Year! We've been in captivity all our live to the corruption of our natural bodies. And now the Lord Jesus Christ is getting ready to come for us in April on First-fruits, to give us our glorified bodies and return us to our own families in heaven. "...our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself." [Phil.3:20,21]

It's clear now that the Lord intended for 40 Jubilees to pass before coming back again for us in the Rapture! 2017 is 40 Jubilees from 17 AD.
