Esther 6:6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
Although the name of God is not mentioned in the book of Esther, God is clearly in sovereign control of the circumstances and coincidences that take place for the defeat of the devil and the salvation of His people and His Promise. It coincidentally happened that on a sleepless night the king had the annals read to him, mentioning what Mordecai had done to prevent an assassination attempt. Then immediately the king asked Haman what should be done to honor Mordecai.
In his pride, he assumed the king was talking about himself. So he said the man should be honored with royal clothes, the royal horse, and a royal crown. This advice was followed, but Mordecai was the man so honored, the very enemy of Haman. His own pride brought about his own downfall. Mordecai received honor and glory, and Haman ended up being hanged on the gallows he prepared for Mordecai.
It is easy to see the allegory of Satan’s defeat on the cross and Christ’s entering into glory. “Pride goeth before a fall, but God lifts up the humble.” We confess our own sinful pride and identify with the humble Jesus, that we might be saved and glorified in the end.
