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.

...id, "Well, I'll give you signs, and when you do these signs, they'll believe you." And he did the signs one time, and all Israel followed. And what was with Moses? A pillar of fire. "I send My Angel before you, to keep you in the way. Not only that, but I'm going to let Him be there so the people can see Him." Same Holy Spirit today, same Angel of God today. Signs and wonders, just exactly the same. A separated people, called out, on the road to a promised land... John 14: "In My Father's House are many mansions. I...
An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 4:E-107
Today amongst many folks it is taken for granted that all who claim to receive the Holy Ghost by speaking in tongues speak in a genuine Spiritual tongue. But this is not so for many people speak in a known tongue but under the influence of a wrong spirit. Now let's say we are in a meeting and people are all speaking in tongues. How can you know which tongue is from the Spirit and which is from the devil? I have been amongst the heathen where their wizards drank blood out of a skull, spoke in tongues and interpreted...

We all know that the Bible teaches the new birth. And they substituted handshakes and everything else for the new birth, but it'll never take the place of the new birth. It's got to be an experience, a borned again. We all know that any kind of a birth is a mess. When a baby's borned, if it's on the floor, if it's in a shuck pile, or in a pink decorated hospital room, it's a mess. But it brings life. That's what the new birth is; it's a mess, but it brings life. It ain't a style, or a put on, or declaration of cree...

I pray that every sick person sitting here will hear that scream today of the Lamb of God coming by. "Who was it?" We know the unbeliever said, "Keep your peace." But he cried that much louder, "Thou, Son of David, have mercy." He had a need. He knowed God had provided the Lamb. Pray, God! May no one hold their peace, but may they scream out until the Lamb stops. Says, "What will thou have Me do?" "Lord, that I might receive my sight." He touched his eyes, and sight broke into eyes which could not see. God, grant t...

Oh my! What the preacher needs today is a staff, and take off: Burn the ox and the implements, get ready. Said, "You'll take off. And if any man invites you over to a social party, don't you go. If they're going to have a soup supper, don't you believe it. If they're going to have to stop and play bunco in a church, don't you believe it. If any man salutes you, salute him not, but go straight and lay it on the baby." That's the commission of the church today, to "lay aside every weight and the sin that doth so easi...
