Prefigured
Genesis 14:18 - "Melchizedek king of Salem brought bread and wine; he was a priest of God Most High."
Genesis 22:13 - (Abraham, our Father in Faith, offers a sacrifice of ram in place of his son Isaac)
Exodus 12:1-11 - The Paschal lamb {prefiguring of the Eucharistic Lord Jesus, the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world} Yahweh ordered a male lamb to be slain and eaten by the Jewish people to fulfill the Passover. Staying at home eating food that looked like lamb and remembering Jesus would NOT fulfill the law. You had to eat the lamb. This is a foreshadowing of receiving the Lamb of God at Holy Communion because each Mass is the Passover.
What was required Foretold
Malachi 1:11 - "they bring sacrifice to my name and a pure offering"
Instituted by Jesus
Luke 22:19 - "This is my body ... given for you; do this in memory of me."
1 Corinthians 11:25 - "this cup is the new covenant in my blood ... do this in remembrance of me."
Attested to
Acts 2:42-47 - (New believers devoted themselves to breaking of the bread)
