Prospering out of place, highly exalted Php 2.9

Some themes are often repeated in Scripture.
Abraham in Canaan
Jacob in Haran
Joseph in Egypt
Moses in Egypt
Daniel in Persia
Esther in Persia
They are all out of place, but prospered by God as a sign to others.
It can be sen as a picture of the believer who receives salvation, but more importantly, it points to the Person of Salvation, Himself. Christ came into this fallen world, A Root out of dry ground, humbled Himself, like Joseph in Egypt, was rejected, but because of His himility, and Who He Is, wherefore.. he is Highly Exalted!
