There is another one hundred twenty which must be considered for the number has a positive side as well as negative. We are presented with a picture of absolute unity in the blowing of one hundred twenty trumpets joining in with the voices of the temple singers at the dedication of Solomonís temple. 2 Chron. 5:12-13.
There is yet a consecration, a dedication to be made by the temple, the church, the bride of Christ. Ye are the temple. 1 Cor. 3:16 It is exemplified by this ceremony. They were clothed in fine linen, the righteousness of the saints. Rev. 19:8 They were of one voice, though many. The church, the bride, unified in all things in fulfillment of the prayer of the Lord Jesus. John 17:21 The house of God was filled with the glory of the Lord until no flesh could enter. The bride/church will be filled with all the fullness of the Lord. Eph. 3:19 Amazing, astonishing but He will accomplish His will fully, in a willing people.
The number seven is a divine complete number. The book of Revelation is the book of sevens. The number is used repeatedly in relationship to end time events. Some of the situations in the book of Esther exemplify these events which even in our day are evident.
Estherís Hebrew name was Hadassah, meaning the myrtle tree. Est.2:7 This tree has a significance which reaches down to the end of the age. Isaiah saw a tremendous transformation that was to take place inasmuch as the myrtle tree was to replace the brier becoming a sign which would never be ended and would result in the name of the Lord being glorified. Isa. 55:13 Surely, the intent of the Lord is that perfect church of which Paul wrote. Eph. 5:27 Furthermore, it is one of seven trees which the Lord said He would plant in the wilderness. Isa. 41:19 It is the Bride of Christ who is transported and planted in the wilderness during the three and one half years of the great tribulation. Rev. 12:6, 14.
