Lessons In The Ladder Days
Candace Long is an End Times Navigator who has studied the biblical end of days for over 30 years. She is emerging as one of today’s most thought-provoking teachers since her most-requested topic concerns the invasion of the Nephilim and how they are influencing our culture. She is a 50+ year follower of Jesus who has been Torah observant for over 10 years. This unique lens enables her to identify the signs God gave us in the Torah to navigate these days safely to the Kingdom.
THE BEST WAY TO LEARN FROM THESE PODCASTS? Candace explains, “Only when you see these end of days through a Jewish lens can you understand what is going on! I began this series in February, 2021 when I realized we are really living right before the Day of the Lord. Some listeners like to start at the beginning, since I build upon the previous biblical foundation established. Others chose topics that interest them. When you click on a title, you can read a brief description of what that episode is about. My desire is to be a calm place of refuge as times get worse. The path toward the Kingdom is narrow. I offer you a biblical lens through which to see it clearly.”
NOTE: Each episode represents months or even years of research. Many are grouped into multi-part series whose transcripts are available as monographs in her Online Store. Purchasing them helps support this series.

God's Invitation To Chanukah
This episode was inspired by the time-sensitive reality that on December 25th, 2024, BOTH Christmas and Chanukah fall on the same day! As someone who has walked with the Lord for more than 50 years AND been Torah observant for close to 20 of those years, I believe it matters to God which tradition you choose to celebrate...and why.
If you have felt led to reconnect with our Jewish roots and learn more about God's ways, it struck me that you might be conflicted being caught up in the Christmas frenzy - after all, that's all you've ever known. There is an alternative – a very important one. This episode invites you to learn what Chanukah is all about, and why it matters to God.
Here's What You'll Learn:
- Five (5) unknown facts about Chanukah that most Christians don't know.
- Why followers of Jesus should reflect on which (Christmas or Chanukah) is more biblical.
- The backstory of why Christians have historically dismissed Chanukah.
- Where the festival of Chanukah came from and why it is so important to God.
- How the danger of Hellenism finds its way into this season.
- Why more believers today relate to the Maccabees whom God raised up before the first coming of Messiah.
- What celebrating Chanukah entails.
- My life-changing experience in 2021 learning to celebrate Chanukah.
- How to be a follower of Jesus and celebrate Chanukah.
