Where Is the Holies of Holies Today?
1) Direct answer
Today the Holy of Holies is not a room in a building. It is in heaven where Christ appears for us, and on earth God has placed His Holy of Holies inside the born‑again believer—the inner man—making our bodies His temple by the Holy Spirit.
2) Scriptural explanation
- The veil was torn when Jesus died, showing open access to God’s presence (Matthew 27:51).
- We now enter “the Holiest” by the blood of Jesus through the veil, “that is to say, His flesh” (Hebrews 10:19–20).
- Christ entered the greater, heavenly sanctuary—“heaven itself”—for us (Hebrews 9:11–12, 24).
- God now dwells in His people: “You are the temple of God… the Spirit of God dwells in you” (1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 2 Corinthians 6:16).
- The promise is “He dwells with you, and shall be in you” (John 14:17); “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).
- The church is “a holy temple in the Lord… a habitation of God through the Spirit” (Ephesians 2:21–22).
3) Simple clarifying logic
- In the Old Testament, God’s presence was behind a veil in a man‑made room. When the veil was rent, God showed the way into His presence was opened through Christ.
- Now the veil is His flesh. By the new birth, the Shekinah glory moves from a building to the believer. So the innermost place where God dwells on earth is the heart of the Spirit‑filled believer, and collectively in the true church.
4) Reinforcing statement
You see, it’s not a location made with hands anymore. The Throne has moved to the inside. Come boldly by the blood, walk in holiness, and let the Holy Ghost keep that inner sanctuary pure.

All the days of our life
59-0612 §27
The Holy Spirit speaking in the Scriptures tonight said, "that we might serve Him all the days of our life in holiness before Him." That's cleanliness, holiness. But today you can mention the word "holy" and people laugh at it. See how Satan's got it all wrapped up? But you are a slave. And if you are a Christian, you're a slave. You're a bond slave of the Lord Jesus. If ... there's two people of you, both spirit and body. And if you cater to the flesh, you're a slave of the devil; and you'll crucify the soul that'...

Down along through the ages, down through the past fifty years, many things has happened in the churches. Many people have fallen away. We're sorry to say this, but today in this great fabulous temple, beautiful as it is, and we thank God for it, but I'm sure today that every believer along with Brother [Gap in the audio.] and all the rest of you would part with everything we got and lay it on the altar of God, for an old-fashioned pouring out of the Holy Ghost again like it was in the beginning. What we need is th...
Calling Jesus on the scene

Any great messenger like that is foretold us in the Bible. Always we can find the place of them in the Scripture. That's the reason the Holy Spirit today... It's foretold us in the Bible, and we know that it's here and we know it by Scripture vindication of what it is. We seen how it acted in the first, we seen how it acted in Christ, we see how it acts today, see. We know whether it's the Holy Spirit or not because it manifests and vindicates the Word of God---makes it live. Now. "They are they that testify of me....
The Easter Seal

It's the Holy Spirit today hunting out honest hearts that will believe that message. Everything in the Bible that was promised is to that believer. And when you accept it in its fullness, and God knows that you'll do it, He gives you the abstract to that. And then every promise that's made is in your possession, and the Holy Spirit has got to quicken that to you. Oh, my! What kind of people should we be? How wonderful to see that God's great Holy Spirit here to do that power. Think of it! When the Holy Ghost itself...

...ttle, then when the new wine begins to swell, the new bottle gives, pushes out because it's got oil in it. And if there ever was a time that the church needs a oiling, it's today; a Holy Spirit oiling. New wine. Now, when the Bible says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever," His healing power's just as great today as it ever was. The old intellectuals will blow up. "No such a thing; Dr. Jones said the days of miracles is passed. That settles it." But when the new wine is put into a new bottle an...
