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.

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...
Earnestly contending for the faith once delivered
53-0614A §79
The very same Gospel that was preached on the day of Pentecost, the very signs that followed for thirty-some-odd years after that, down in the church, has returned back to the church again, falling right down to the end. Brother, let me tell you, you can call me holy-roller if you want to, you can say what you want to, but I see back yonder in Genesis where that great orthodox spirit started back there. Just as religious, just as pious as it could be. And I see where that thing in the last day has come down, all do...

You said, "If you speak against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven you," when they called You Beelzebub, because You were discerning the thoughts of their minds. They should have knowed that was the Spirit of God there. It was on Solomon, upon the prophets, and here it was made in its fulness in You. And they spoke against You and called You an evil name, called the work of the Holy Spirit a devil. And You said, "I will forgive you for that. But when the Holy Ghost is come, you speak against that, it'll never be...
Identification

Or are you found identified in some of the scriptures where the ... in some of the scriptures where there are them that didn't stay? Where are you identified with anyhow? The camera has already flashed. You're identified somewhere. You're sitting here this afternoon, every one of us (now listen), you're identified somewhere. The camera's already flashed. You know what you are. It's took your picture somewhere. Now where are you standing? You're the judge. God help us to be so identified in Him, that we'll reflect h...
Hebrews, Chapter 7, part 2
57-0922 §36
But this perfect body---in commemoration as the earnest of our resurrection---God would not suffer that holy body to see corruption, because He created it Himself, and brought it forth, and resurrected it, and set it at His right hand. And, today, the Holy Spirit that raised that body up is here in the church---blessed be the name of the Lord!---and showing forth the same miracles and power. And someday this Holy Spirit that's in the church, will scream and will lift up and will receive itself into this body form t...
