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.

As the eagle stirreth up her nest
60-0804 §41
...a man that's freezing to death, how can you ever thaw him out by a painted fire? What if a man's freezing, you say, "You see that great big painted fire there? 'On the day of Pentecost there came a sound like a rushing mighty wind; it filled all the house where they were sitting.'" "Yes. I'm shivering." "Oh, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, tongues of fire. Oh, that was a great thing; but that was back, see. That's a painted fire. You can't get warm by that." If we are needing fire today, then we can't get warm by a...
The impersonation of Christianity
57-0127A §23
You know, you could put the new wine, which represents the Word, put the new wine in an old bottle, and you read the Word and it says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." The old bottle will go "Ffft," blow up: "I don't believe it." The baptism of the Holy Ghost is just as real today as it ever was, "'Poof,' I don't believe it." And what do you do? You spoil both bottle and wine. You're casting pearls before swine. Your message is gone to pieces, and no one receives it, and it just blowed up a...
Paradox
61-1210 §82
It's a real paradox. When God took a bunch of ignoramuses, as we'd call them today, holy-rollers, poor of this world's goods, and poured out the Holy Ghost on them in an upper room; instead of pouring it out upon the Sanhedrin Council where all the theologians sat, where all the great men was, where the head of all the churches, where the ones that had studied in the Scriptures... And had made a great school, well trained, and waiting for the coming Messiah, and knowing that they would be the one who would walk out...
Who has believed our report?
52-0720E §25
Now, if Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and do we believe that the Holy Spirit is on earth today? How many believes that? Well, that Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit of God. Is that right? The third Person of the trinity, Jesus Christ. "Yet a little while, the world seeth Me no more, yet you'll see Me, for I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world." Is that right? Then if He's going to be with us, in us to the end of the world, that makes Him the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is t...
Led by the Holy Spirit
52-0727 §14
I can imagine some of them saying, "Say, the old man's got kind of old, you know. There's something wrong with his mind. He's going around there saying that he's going to see the Christ. Just think, an old man like that, nearly a hundred years old now, walking around here saying he's going to see the Christ. And great men has waited for Him for years. Think of that." But he ... the Holy Ghost said so. That's what made the difference. He wasn't off in his mind. He was listening to the Holy Spirit. Now, there's no tw...
