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.

New Ministry (William Branham)
59-1115 §15
And I could remember when the Holy Spirit that night, when I returned back to this same desk from the mill where I'd been praying, and told many of you people sitting here, that He had charged me by His Spirit, a commission to all the world: that the lame would walk, and the blind would see, and that kings and monarchs would be calling for prayer. And it would start a revival among the brethren that would sweep around the world before the coming of the Lord. It was hard to believe that. It was hard for me to believ...
Earnestly contending for the faith
55-0123E §34
Quickly, got to close. The Spirit of Christ in the apostles. We've often called the book, "The Acts of the Apostles." That was wrong. It's: The Acts of Christ in the Apostles, 'cause they were men, but they had the same faith. Now, the Spirit of Christ in the apostles was what was doing that. Thirty-three years later, Jude said, continually, "Contend for that faith. I give all diligence to write unto you, to exhort you, (to stir you up in other words), that you would earnestly, (earnestly), contend, (keep holding o...
Hear ye Him
60-0712 §25
When I was in India, you still see them the same way, set right on the street, what they call the wise men, or the magis, star gazers, as some of them call them. But God always declares things in the heaven before He does on the earth. And this was a special occasion. Peter, later on in life, referred to it as the Holy Mount. Now, I don't believe that the apostle meant that the mountain was holy, because it was just a mountain. Battles had been fought there and everything. It wasn't a holy mountain. But it was a ho...
Church Dedication
59-0708M §19
No wonder the church natural today can't believe in miracles. They've never come into the miracle working place where they're at rest with God. There's where Aaron's rod budded. Something that was dead. An old dry stick off the desert in that Holy of holies took new life and bloomed blooms and sprouted out and brought leaves. Why? It was laying in the holiest of holies! You can take a dead sinner, rotten, carnal in his mind and with his thinking and a criticizer of the power of God and bring him into the presence o...
The conflict between God and Satan
62-0531 §53
Here come Noah and Enoch with "thus saith the Lord," building away on an ark. Now, notice, Satan's system laughed at God's system. Now compare that with today: "holy rollers," and whatmore, see. Scoffers, the Bible says. They laughed at God's system. Satan's system laughed at God's system. They thought it didn't stand up to their own science and reasoning. Now, they said, "That old fellow up there on the hill building that ship, and he says there's some water coming down from up there. Now we've got the best scient...
