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.

The ever-present water from the Rock
61-0723M §49
That's the way they've tried to make Christ, the Holy Spirit, today. "It's just a little sprinkle." See, just enough to make you believe that there is a God. No! It is abundance of water! David said, "My cup runneth over!" It's just a gusher of the Holy Spirit. People are afraid of it. Some people say, "Well, I'm just a little afraid I will do this or that, or if I happen to go a little too deep. I can show you someone went a little too far." But you never do point to that one didn't go far enough, see. How about t...
Presuming
62-0610M §52
Preachers---good men, fine men---preach denominational doctrine presuming that's all that's required. And when this Bible says, "Whosoever shall take one word out of it, or add one word to it, the same will be taken out of the book of life for him..." ... say "You don't need the Holy Spirit today. That was for a day gone by." Why? They can't teach anything different. If they are, they're excommunicated. They say there is no such a thing as healing, the Holy Spirit was only give to the apostles. Now, they get that b...

...rcy seat. Oh, I hope you get it! The mercy seat is still guarded, still got the guards. We found out that those guards were Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, guarding the book of Acts, the acts of the Holy Spirit done amongst the apostles, which is the book of Acts of the New Testament. And the four writers of the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all guard that mercy seat to show that it is God, the Holy Spirit today. Each scripture---Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John---every one will back up the true gospel of the...
The resurrection of Lazarus
51-0729A §73
They had to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, or God didn't recognize her as one of His. All right. And when they received the Holy Ghost, out into the streets they went screaming acting like a bunch of drunk men, like that, staggering around. And today they talk--taken the Holy Ghost, put a wafer under your tongue, or shake hands with the minister. Oh, brother, I'm sick and tired of that old dry-eyed confession. There's no more to it than there is a ... like a fellow trying to get a drink of water out of an o...

...nknown to myself?" That's right, speaking with tongues; believed in divine healing. And when he come to America, the churches here treated him like they do the holy-rollers today; they put him out, in churches. And they preached the Gospel out there, and fell under the power of God, until they laid on the floor, all night at a time. And John Wesley's own textbook, that I got at home now, of where he was riding a horse one day, to pray for a woman that was sick, and the horse fell and broke its leg. And he got off t...
