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.

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,...

Our Heavenly Father. Unworthy creatures; this hot, sweaty room this morning, the sweat box; but, God, You sweated it out of us. The Holy Spirit come down, convinced people that they were wrong. They were sinning. Their spirits were arrogant. They become hostile, snoopy, know-it-all, not willing to repent, not willing to forgive people that's done things against them. They wasn't willing to, but today the Holy Spirit took the Word of God, placed it right in their gentle hearts, and said, "Now do you want to come bac...

Oh, hallelujah. What am I speaking of? The same Holy Ghost that led Simeon is the same Holy Ghost leading the church today, see. I said, "Auntie, my name is Branham; did you ever hear of me?" She said, "No, sir, Parson Branham, I never heard of you." She said, "Will you come in and see my boy?" Said, "I don't want him to die a backslider," said, "I want him to be saved, parson." And I said, "Yes, ma'am." I said, "Auntie, I pray for the sick, did you ever hear my meeting?" She said, "No, sir, Parson Branham." She sa...

...they did that, that was the only way they could tell that he was alive. They listened to hear if there was any noise. If there was no noise, he was dead. And that's what's today, a church that's borned-again, going into the Holiest of holies, anointed with God's pomegranate and bell. Hallelujah! Yes, sir. You know they're alive. A bell ringing, "Holy, holy, holy unto the Lord." The outsiders pass by, scoffers, say, "Look at them." That's all right. Look at them then. Hallelujah! How wonderful. "Holy, holy, holy un...

O warriors, pull that Sword, let's stand for everything that Sword stands for! Let's get to that well where there is a Fountain filled with Blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins. Not a Jew, Immanuel's veins, God with us; Where sinners plunged beneath the flood lose all their guilty stain. "And there shall come forth a ruler out of Bethlehem that shall rule over my people." The Holy Spirit today rules over the people, and the Holy Spirit is the Word. Is that right? Now, in closing, reverently. He rules the people. No m...
