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.

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...
Paradox

...e had to do it. They talked against him, but he made that famous word, "I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision." May I say that same thing, brethren, see---the vision of today, see, the vision of the promise of today, the Holy Spirit in the land today. God promised that in this day He'd pour the Holy spirit out upon us. Now, I've crossed the country back and forth. There's been phenomenal signs, as you notice. Not one time has them signs ever failed. They're perfectly the truth, 'cause it's God. Tens of thous...
A Hidden Life in Christ
55-1110 §34
I think that's what's the matter with our church today. We got too many of those layovers. That's right. Some people just eat enough manna to make them right good and hungry for some more. Before one revival to another one, you have to go out and get renewed again. Oh, brother, why don't you stop that nonsense and come into the holiest of holies by the blood of the Lord Jesus. Every bit of manna outside of here just lets you last for tonight or tomorrow; next week it won't work. It dries up overnight. But if you'll...
Watching His Star
59-0411E §24
That's the hungry heart of many a millionaire tonight, wanting to find that real Holy Spirit that fell on the day of Pentecost and the real gift of God. "We have read it in the Bible where Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Where is it? We have read that He is a great healer. Where is it? We have read that 'the Holy Spirit is for you and for your children, and for them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.' Where is it in our churches?" Where is that power that sets the c...
