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.

A Hidden Life in Christ
55-1110 §29
The manna is a type of the Holy Spirit. When God gave the manna for this journey... When He gave it in the other journey, it was to last them all the way through the journey. And it was a very beautiful type of Pentecost. And when God called His church out, and gave them the baptism of the Holy Ghost, He poured out the Spirit from on high, upon the church, and it was to last them through every generation, until Jesus comes. Right. That's the manna for the church today, the manna of the Holy Spirit. Remember, as the...
The deity of Jesus Christ
49-1225 §54
Today, they're getting passes and everything to go up to the--to the cradle, up to the place where He was born, the same manger. But, friends, it's not up there, where He was born, it's right here where He was born; God has brought Him down to every one of us, and His living Being is living in us. Oh, the Creator, the thing that created the world, and created the heavens, created the earth, created man, is right in every individual that's got the baptism of the Holy Ghost today. That's the thing. That's the secret....
The Rejected King
60-0610 §61
Then I'd like to say another thing, that evil spirit begin to lead Saul, and it led him. And today when the Holy Spirit's rejected, it wants ... what will it do? You'll get an evil spirit to lead you. Now, listen. I don't want to hurt you, but I want you to get this, see. Just as it was in them days, so is it today. They don't want the Holy Spirit to lead them so they get a evil spirit. What takes place with the evil spirit? The evil spirit wants to lead them then. And now watch. They don't want ... they didn't wan...
One man's influence on another
62-1013 §109
Something's got to be done. It's later than we think it is. May the vision of God so influence the people, that they might see that the same God was in the temple with Isaiah is the same God in His holy place today. He's in the holy place of the Holy Spirit. He is the Holy Spirit. He once was flesh; now He's Spirit moving among His people, showing Himself alive, not a dead creed, but a living Christ, same yesterday, today, and forever. Oh, Isaiah, quickly answer, "Master, here, send me." Let us pray. With our heads...
Adoption, part 3: Position in Christ
60-0522M §110
And, now, God had three offices. One of them was called the Fatherhood, or the Father dispensation; the other one was called the Sonship; and the other one was called Holy Ghost. Now, today, what dispensation is Father working in today? [Congregation says "Holy Ghost."] Holy Ghost. What was He in the days gone by? ["Jesus."] Jesus. What was He in the days before that? ["Father."] But it was just one God. Is that right? He's Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Those three, those three offices of one God. One God. But now,...
