What Hebrew Manuscripts Teach Us Today with Dr. Kevin Chen
How can ancient Hebrew manuscripts help us understand the Bible more clearly, and what do they reveal about the Messiah?
In this episode of The Dig In Podcast, Pastor Johnny Ova is joined by Old Testament scholar and author Dr. Kevin Chen to explore the powerful story that unfolds through preserved Hebrew texts. From the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Messianic vision in Genesis, they unpack how the literary structure, repetition, and narrative design of the Old Testament all point to Jesus Christ.
Together, they discuss:
- Why Hebrew manuscripts still matter today
- How they confirm the reliability of Scripture
- The meaning of Genesis 3:15 and the promised seed
- What “nexus passages” are and why they matter
- How the Old Testament builds a redemptive arc toward Jesus
This conversation is rich, eye-opening, and deeply encouraging for anyone who wants to engage Scripture with context, clarity, and curiosity.
