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.

Lord, show us the Father and it sufficeth us

...lieve All things are possible, Lord, I believe. Shall we bow our heads just a moment. Our Heavenly Father, may that not only be from our lips, but may it be from the depths of our heart. Lord, I believe, and may today the Holy Spirit give us another baptism. May our earnestness and the best that we have to give to God be brought forward today. We see this great nation of ours breaking to pieces. Sin is creeping in on every hand, but all in the midst of all of this, as our brother taught the other night in the messa...

...Moses and through Daniel, and through the different prophets. And listen. You say, "Well now, what about the Holy Spirit?" The Holy Spirit doesn't change it. Look, the Word of the Lord comes to the prophet. John was the prophet of the hour. He was standing in the water, declaring that the Messiah was already among them, somewhere. He would know it by a sign. And when the Messiah, being the Word, He came into the water, to the prophet, the Word coming to the prophet! Jesus said, in these days, He said, "He [which is...

...ll the big religious people sitting there tipping their glasses and having a fellowship, and Jesus sitting over in a corner with dirty feet. O God, forgive me. When I think of it: Jesus with dirty feet. Oh, my. That's why I stepped away from the Baptist church. Hallelujah! Yes, sir. I believe my God ought to be worshipped in the power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost. Yes, sir. I don't believe in your old cold formal creeds. He wants to be loved. Look at Him sitting over there ... can't be loved. He can't be lov...

Oh, my! No wonder you can't believe. No wonder you can't believe. Quit asking Dr. So-and-so. Take what Jesus said. Let that settle it. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. That's the way the Pharisees and them, they had to go ask the priest whether it was all right to do this, or do that. That's the reason they failed to see Jesus, and recognize Who He was. Same thing they're failing to see the Holy Ghost today. The same thing, Christian friends. Listen. They got churches, and we got everything, but they're...
The great coming revival

And today, we're trying to run to this church and say, "Has this got the message?" Over here: "Has this got the message? Is this the right?" There's one thing God has give us an everlasting Star, that's the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit is the Guider of the church of the living God today to lead them into truth and all light. Amen. (I'm not shouting at you, but that's pretty strong now there, and I was backing up a little from it.) Look! The Holy Spirit, when He has come, He will lead and guide you int...
