Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types
Isaiah 41:19 (c) The seven kinds of trees mentioned in this verse may be taken as types of seven kinds of Christian experience. The myrtle tree usually represents the happy, radiant Christian life which remains green and beautiful even through the winter months.
Isaiah 55:13 (b) No doubt our Lord is teaching us that when we walk with Him, believe His Word, and live for His glory, our lives will be filled with joy and gladness, instead of with sorrow, grief and pain such as the thorns produce. The brier represents the sorrows, pains and griefs of life, while the myrtle represents the joys the beauty and happiness of life.
Zechariah 1:8 (b) By this picture we may understand that our Lord coming forth in power and having upon Him the blood of His enemies because He trod the winepress alone is found mingling and mixing among a happy, radiant people of GOD in GOD's country.
