Speaking of number 1 then, and assuming the stoning of Stephen ended the last of a large repeating cycle involving 490 years, in what way did the stoning of Stephen lead to the national deliverance of Israel at the time?
I think the ending of the 70th week was Cornelius more so than Stephen; but to your question about deliverance. The extraordinary deliverances of Israel on Sabbath and Jubilees throughout Old Testament history were pictures of a greater deliverance to come. They pictured world-wide redemption: Set free from the Dominion of Satan! Set free from the harm of evil spirits! Set free from the power of sin! Set free from the penalty of sin!
Redemption was preached to the heirs of the covenant from Pentecost onward, then to the Samaritan’s, then to the Gentiles - to all who believed. This is what Jubilee was all about.
