Lessons in the Ladder Days

Candace Long: I'm Candace Long with Lessons in the Latter Days, offering biblical commentary to make sense of the times we're living in. Today's episode concludes the two-part series called 2025: When We Became the Days of Noah. I hope you have heard part one because it contained the backstory of the doors that the United States has opened for the Nephilim to come in and plant their evil seed into our way of life.

I began that episode with an important dream from 2015 and memorialized the last ten years, which have brought us to what can now be described as the days of Noah. Today's focus will be on a recent dream that seems to confirm that the transition is now complete. Part two is subtitled: Is it time to separate ourselves?

As I sit down to write, the country has been experiencing yet another series of storms and flooding, all in the same section of the country. Biblically, this is not a good sign because the rains that God promises to those living according to His ways are gentle rains, not ones that destroy crops, obliterate towns, and uproot people's lives.

Now, before diving into part two, I want to comment on the difficult times that we're going through. The temptation is to blame the devil for these storms by quoting John 10:10 when Jesus says the thief comes only to kill, steal, and destroy. Yes, that verse is certainly true, but a separate truth is found in Hebrews 10:31: "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."

Allow me to share an experience from 2009. I had just returned from being ordained as a marketplace minister, so I was on a spiritual high. In the wee hours before daylight, I was awakened by a loud voice and sat straight up in bed. I knew it was the Lord. Hearing Him audibly had only happened one other time in my life, and it shook me the same way. It was the same voice, saying emphatically two words: "Value reengineering."

Now, I did what I normally do when the Lord grabs my attention. I got out of bed and went downstairs to sit before Him in quiet, with my Bible and pen and paper. And I wait for revelation and write down whatever comes to my mind. Now, I must admit, that revelation did not happen right away. The key to unlocking the meaning was to look closely at this unique expression, value reengineering, which is made from two entirely different business concepts that I learned studying for my MBA degree the year before.

The first concept is the phrase value engineering, not reengineering. Value engineering, or VE, is what companies go through to improve the value of their goods and services. It involves a complex mathematical ratio that engineers the company's processes, or the way it does business, in order to improve what the stakeholders value, which is the bottom line. Value engineering is done very simply so companies can make more money. Period.

The second business concept is the term reengineering, which is the process of redesigning or restructuring either a whole company or part of its operation that's not working well. So God took these two concepts, value engineering and reengineering, and put them together, saying, "Value reengineering." And the more I thought about it, it was a brilliant way to say something powerful, if you can hear it.

Now, why would God reengineer something? Because reengineering is not pretty. It involves tearing something apart, breaking it up into its pieces, and throwing out everything that's not working. In other words, everything that has strayed from God's intended purposes is trashed, flooded, blown to smithereens, sucked up, wiped off the map. And that seems to be what's going on.

But here's the point. The reason the Lord reengineers is that whatever is being destroyed is something that He values, as well as the people He gifted uniquely to make it work. I want you to consider the possibility that God is the one bringing about destruction in our heartland so that together with Him, we can rebuild our infrastructure according to what He values. That's value reengineering.

This is a biblical concept. He totally dismantled every aspect of Job's life and then rebuilt it once Job humbled himself before the mighty hand of God. He bowed his head and yielded himself to whatever purpose God ultimately had for him. He did the same thing to me following 9/11, and I am finally using my gifts for the purposes He had for them all along.

Let's look again at the geographic area where these storms, tornadoes, and floods are taking place. If you do an internet search for the Bible Belt, voila! It is the same area of the country being hit. This is some of our richest farmland. I see these storms as God's hand at work. He's shouting from the rooftops, saying: "You cannot stand safely under my protection, preaching the Bible on the one hand and giving over your soil to produce genetically modified food with the other. I won't have it."

He said judgment would begin in the house of God. Looks to me that's what's going on. And where is the panic being felt? Sadly, it's not through a sense of remorse, but what's happening with the stock market and the value of our 401ks. This storm is not going away because He doesn't have our attention yet. The location of the storms is the finger of God pointing to the problem, if we have eyes to see.

Let's move now to the short dream I had on March 1st, 2025, that so unsettled me it prompted these two episodes. In the dream, I am sitting in front of my computer monitor looking at a recording session in my studio software. The focus was on one audio track in the process of being edited. I have learned that God typically speaks using vocabulary that the dreamer understands. I record and edit audio tracks all the time, so He was speaking my language.

An editor begins with an entire track of solid audio, which then needs to be edited. And this phase takes a lot of time to edit out everything that doesn't belong, and that includes editing out every mistake, stumbling over words, mouth noises, and any sound from the outside which leaks into the microphone. And the editor, me, listens with high-powered headphones so I can hear what needs to come out.

So in this one brief scene, what I'm looking at are two sections of audio side by side. An edit has been made, and each of the two sections are labeled. The audio clip on the left is labeled Gershonite in large letters. The one on the right is labeled Zamzummim. And that was the dream. It was a short scene, but it's packed with meaning as you're about to see.

Guest (Male): Here are seven observations from my breakout that we need to be able to interpret it. Observation number one: a Gershonite is a descendant of Gershon, the firstborn son of Levi. As you recall, the tabernacle in the wilderness was surrounded on every side by Levites.

Guest (Female): We read in Ezekiel 44: "The Levites are to teach my people the difference between the holy and the common and show them how to distinguish between the unclean and the clean."

Guest (Male): The Gershonites were the Levitical family positioned west of the tabernacle. They served as the rear guard in charge of carrying the tent, the curtains, and the entrance to the courtyard. They were the gatekeepers charged with protecting the place that God had chosen to dwell.

Now in modern-day application, today's Gershonites are assigned to spot anything coming from the altar, or better known as the pulpit area, that could be compromised. It is their responsibility before God to confront and remove any immorality going on by the pastor or worship team ministering at the altar. A true Gershonite who walks in their calling understands that whatever is being projected from the altar, whether it's a spoken word or through music, will be broadcast into the people.

Now let me explain this because it's a powerful truth that most churches ignore. If those ministering from the altar are walking in holiness, they're filled with the Holy Spirit. The people in the pews are blessed. Let me share a Levitical discipline I've written about a lot. If a woman is singing a worship song in church and she was fornicating with her boyfriend the night before, that spirit of fornication is what is broadcast from her mouth into the congregation because that spirit is what has defiled her.

Guest (Female): Jesus said in Mark 7:20: "What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, etc."

Guest (Male): So in this dream, the Lord was identifying that one of the audio clips I was dealing with came from a Gershonite, a Levitical gatekeeper charged with keeping the atmosphere holy.

Observation number two: the audio clip right next to it was labeled Zamzummim, which in its essence means to murmur or whisper. So whatever a Zamzummim is, it produces a low hum which a Gershonite would certainly detect.

Guest (Female): We discover what it means in Deuteronomy 2:20. It was a name given to a people great and tall, sometimes referred in scripture as the Zuzim.

Guest (Male): They were descended from the giants, the Nephilim, that unnatural offspring that were in the earth before God destroyed the world in the flood. They are the fallen ones of mixed DNA and are described as exceedingly wicked and violent.

Observation three: so here we have two audio clips, one identified as coming from a Gershonite and right next to it we have audio coming from a descendant of the Nephilim. This is not good. Now as the editor, I have the ability to select the Zamzummim clip and simply press delete and it would be gone. But is that the message? Or is the Father saying something deeper?

Observation number four: we need to take note of where this editing scene is taking place. At the time I saw it, these two clips had obviously been imported into the same track. Only someone had labeled them so that the editor, me, would tell that I was dealing with two voices coming from two different sources and they were ready to be bounced to a single mixdown version.

Now a producer mixes various audio pieces down into a final version which is called the final mix. I want you to notice how often I'm using the word mix. This suggests that this term is likely a metaphorical top-neat, meaning that we are in our generation now living side by side with voices whose God is not the Lord.

And everything that's here now will become the final mix of the sixth generation, which is exactly what it was in the days of Noah. We saw from the Torah how much God hates things that are mixed. He is a purist. And now this dream shines light on something else being mixed, and that is the entire narrative for our generation.

Now the producer's job is very important, as you can imagine, because the producer's intentions, heart attitude, and spiritual condition is critical. And based on this dream, it's more critical now than it's ever been. Let's just take Lessons in the Latter Days for example. I have the freedom to bring in other voices into an episode. For example, I may quote from someone else's book or a YouTube video where I heard them teach something that supports what I want to get across.

But ultimately, it's my voice that you hear in the episode. Now as a 56-year follower of Jesus who's been living a Levitical lifestyle for many years, I know I will give account for every voice I allow into an episode. And I'm typically very careful who I quote from because once the recording is mixed down, that final mix becomes part of my overall audio body of work to which I have been called to write and produce.

In order to memorialize what we in the sixth and final generation before the Day of the Lord are living through: what we understand to be true, what mistakes we are making, what false teachings we are witnessing, what we are doing right, all of it. Now one huge takeaway I see in this dream is that I believe the Lord is saying our generation now is enmeshed with the Nephilim culture.

Their messaging, their behavior, their belief system, and this is posing a critical danger to Levites who are living among them. Let's go back now to the original dream. I, as the editor, am looking at these two clips side by side. If I leave them alone, the Nephilim presence will defile the entire recording. Why? Because a Gershonite's nature is to speak truth and holiness, whereas the Nephilim are rooted in lies, unholiness, and misinformation.

So God is telling me as an editor and producer: "The Nephilim are no longer just among you. They are now enmeshed within the culture and their audio cannot be easily isolated any longer."

Guest (Female): "What they believe is now being recorded as part of the sixth generation timeline written in the Book of Records. You must separate yourself from this or you will be deemed compliant with it."

Guest (Male): This is my present understanding and interpretation of this dream. This is a huge warning that the time has come for me to separate my voice from any other voice so that mine cannot be compromised. It has also never been more important to maintain a pure lifestyle and spend my time studying, writing, and producing before the Lord. This is the only way now that I can absolutely guarantee the purity of my message because God holds me accountable for everything that I teach.

We have now arrived at a much higher standard of personal accountability and have to choose now which narrative we are recorded with on the final mix. Are we recorded with God or with the gods? As a listener, the takeaway I see for you is that you can no longer believe everything you hear. The need for you to do your own research and grow in discernment is greater than it's ever been too.

If you are living a pure lifestyle away from defiling spirits, then trust the Lord will lead you to godly teachers. You will resonate with their spirit. If you do not, take a step back, for you may be hearing audio from a source that is not the Lord.

Observation number five: the final takeaway is I am being shown something I have long suspected, namely that our culture has finally become as it was in the days of Noah. A Levite's voice right next to a Nephilim descendant is the perfect top-neat for a mixed culture which depicts the fourth beast that Daniel 7 discusses.

Not long ago, I attended a worship gathering and I noticed that a family had brought young children and they sat them up close to expose them most likely to being in God's presence. So in the midst of singing, I saw one of the children turn around and our eyes met. The hair on the back of my neck suddenly stood up and I recognized the familiar eyes of an unclean spirit.

This happened several months before this dream, but once I broke the dream out, the situation now made sense. I subsequently learned that this child was the offspring of an ungodly hookup. I wrestled over what to do. I can't very well go up to this family and say: "Oh, by the way, one of your children is defiled by an unclean spirit."

Now this is just one of the implications that we are in the beginning stages of seeing today, and we'll deal more with how we have let them in to become so close to us and how to honorably deal with the fallout. So what have we learned in this episode? We've dealt with two issues here. The first is acknowledging the dangers with ingesting GMO foods, and the second, what to do when we find a Nephilim presence in our immediate circle of friends and family.

Now the general admonition for Levites is to separate yourself from everything and everyone who is biblically unclean. I have often wondered how and when God told Noah that it was time to separate. For us who believe that we will be taken in the rapture, I see this is that time. The Father is telling us to separate. In closing, I want to propose six ways to do this.

Number one: first, we need to confess to God that we have allowed these things to take place on our watch. Agree with what the word of God says and admit that we have not taken a stand when we could have. Align yourself with His word and do not be intimidated if others scoff at you, which they will. Commit yourself to stand your ground.

Number two: renounce the ways that you have been compliant with the GMO culture. Remove from your stock portfolio anything that supports this system. Commit to supporting the organic farmers in your area by buying organic foods whenever possible.

Number three: add natural supplements to your diet to shore up your immune system rather than rely on Big Pharma and genetically altered vaccinations.

Number four: consider honoring the Torah and adhering to the kosher laws and return to the foods God says are clean for us to eat.

Number five: when you see defiling behavior, such as if you sense the presence of unclean spirits in others, distance yourself from them and be truthful explaining why you can no longer attend certain gatherings, even if that makes people uncomfortable.

And number six: the hardest part is discovering the mixed seed culture has invaded your own family, such as children who are gender conflicted, rebellious, or openly gay. I'll be dealing with this situation in the next episode. But in closing, the call for all of us is to edit our lives that are in the process of being recorded and remove yourself from any influence or presence controlled by mixed seed.

God's heart is to protect the purity and cleanliness of those who are His and to point out every danger that threatens to throw us off course.
