2. Melchizedek – Priest of God Most High - http://christianity.about.com/od/oldtestamentpeople/a/Melchizedek.htm
“The Bible does not shed any light on Melchizedek's religious rituals either, except to mention that he brought out "bread and wine" for Abram. This act and Melchizedek's holiness have led some scholars to describe him as a type of Christ, one of those Bible people who show the same qualities as Jesus Christ, Savior of the World. With no record of father or mother, and no genealogical background in Scripture, this description is fitting. Other scholars go a step further, theorizing that Melchizedek may have been a theophany of Christ, or a manifestation of deity in temporary form."
Now that is a remez!
3. While in prison Joseph interpreted the dreams of a baker and the wine steward to pharaoh. Perhaps there is a Remez in the fact that the Baker was executed and the wine steward was allowed to return to his duties. Our bodies could be represented by bread and will pass away as did the baker. 1 Corinthians 15:50, “I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.” However, we are covered by the blood of Jesus and the blood that purified us will assure us of our salvation and our eternal home with Jesus.
4. The Last Supper
Matthew 26:26, “While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
Matthew 26:28, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”
