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.

I will restore unto you, saith the Lord
54-0809A §43
Look, my brother, listen to this: Both of them were fundamental, but God recognized this and proved that He was with them by signs and wonders. He's doing the same thing today. That's right. Fundamental, sure they was. Strike onto them and find if they was fundamental or not. Sure, they knew what they was talking about. But God was a vindicating this bunch. But this was kind of a low-down bunch, they wanted to call them---the dirty things that they had done. That's the same thing the fundamentals try to poke onto t...
His wonders to perform
58-0112A §45
...Word, which Jesus said the Scriptures cannot be broken, "No man can come to me except my Father draws him first." Oh, how lovely that is to think that the Father is in here today. The Holy Spirit is drawing. And literally dozens have raised their hands. The Holy Spirit is drawing. God the Father, giving to His Son love gifts in commemoration of His great, all sufficient sacrifice which pleased God to forget sin. If Jesus was so willing to do all of that, the Father's heart was so broken up till He was willing to fo...
The Token
63-1128E §39
And today the Holy Ghost is God's covenant with God's covenant people. The Holy Ghost, the life of the resurrected Christ, has got to be displayed in the church amongst the people, making Him the same yesterday, today, and forever. No matter how loyal a member you are! You might be whatever you may be, a good man or a good woman. That sure is fine. We appreciate that. But only the token will keep you alive, God's token. You might be a student of the Bible. You might be a good person. You could even be the President...
God's Wrapped Gift
60-1225 §93
-God's gift package, wrapped up in the form today of Holy Ghost. He was wrapped up then, and called the Son of God. God's gift package was just taken up and rewrapped again, and sent back. Amen. It was wrapped up in the Son of God then; it's wrapped up in sons of God today, called the church. That's right, God's gift package wrapped to the people. And they refuse it today just as they refused then. If they called the master of the house Beelzebub, a fortune-teller, because He could discern the thoughts, how much mo...
The Law having a shadow
56-0621 §52
If you love the Lord, you'd be doing something else besides that. Now, you can preach all the liberation of women or men, what you want to, but that'll never change the Bible. God's Word is true, and that's to you Pentecostal people too. Yes, sir. Oh, you let down the bars some way, something happened. Used to be it wasn't the way it is now. It's just because the weakness of the pulpit and just because you got mixed up in things. If the Holy Ghost taught you better back then, your mammy, and everything, and then yo...
