107 years after the Torah was translated into Greek (the Septuagint), the Chashmonaim won their victory against Hellenistic culture and its infiltration of Jewish life.
(The years of these two events are, respectively, 3515 and 3622 since Creation.)
107 is the age (in years) יעקב was when יוסף met פרעה, in a miscalculation that assumes יעקב had not stopped to learn for fourteen years in בית עבר. (Source: מגילה 17a.)
107 is the number of "folk sayings" (אמרי אינשי) that appear in the gemora Bavli, as listed in this sefer.
