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.

...en who He was by the words and signs that... He had proved among them that He was the vindicated, anointed Messiah that was to come.

What is the Holy Ghost?
59-1216 §22
So circumcision, the Holy Spirit, today circumcises the heart; and it's a sign, a given sign. Someone said the other day... I just repeat this, not as a joke, because it's the truth; but it sounds like a joke. As I've often said, "This is no place for jokes." But there was a little German out on the west coast where we were just at. He received the Holy Ghost, and he went down the street; and he would walk a little piece, and he'd raise up his hands and speak in tongues; and he would run, and he would jump, and he...

Now in this day, God has sent back the Holy Spirit, which, if Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then He is still the same Messiah. And the life of Christ is in His church, vindicating His Word. That's how God was in the earth, in the form of Jesus Christ, being the Word, to make the Word live. And the Holy Spirit's today in flesh, making the Word of God live to every promise and every wonder. And everything that He promised, it's there. And the churches has been given the opportunity to receiv...
