Esther 6:8
Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head: Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
Esther 6:8 belongs to the account of Haman's plot against God's people under Ahasuerus, whose plan to destroy them God frustrated. In prophetic outline this is the time of Medo-Persia, the second head of the beast system of church-and-state government, when Satan perverted that government to his own ends and worked through Haman in the reign of Ahasuerus to destroy all of God's people, the woman through whom the Man Child should come.
When the king asked what should be done for the man whom the king delights to honor, Haman, thinking the honor was intended for himself, chose the most distinguished honor he could imagine and proposed royal clothing, the king's own horse, and the royal crown. The honors meant being dressed in the king's apparel and riding the king's horse publicly through the city escorted by one of the king's most noble princes, as signs of the highest honor earthly power could bestow. It illustrates how great an honor it was to ride the king's animal in public with a royal escort, as when Solomon rode on the king's mule. The king ordered Haman to carry out this plan for Mordecai, who had saved the king's life, so Haman had to honor the very man he had intended to destroy.
The turning of Haman's self-seeking plan into public honor for Mordecai shows God's providence answering the faith of His people, proving that God remembers and cares for them. The king's decision providentially prevented Haman's plan against Mordecai from being granted and prepared the way for Esther to plead for her life and her people. The episode shows that retributive justice may come in this world or the next.
