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.

The Kinsman Redeemer
60-1002 §17
And give us power today, Lord, through the preaching of the Word, to cast every devil of doubt and superstition and fear from the people's hearts and mind, that those who are bound by flusterations and doubt might be brought into the arms of Christ. And it's also written that "they shall lay their hands on the sick, and they shall recover." There are those here who are Christians and are bound with demons of disease. Lord, give me power today of the Holy Spirit to deliver every sick and afflicted person that's here...
A Hidden Life in Christ
55-1110 §31
When the manna was first poured out, God told Moses, "Now this will dry up during the day." But said, "Now you go out and get a golden omer, make it full of this manna, and put it in the holiest of holies, that every... All down through your generations, that when a man entered into the veil, behind the holiest of holies, and become a priest, he had a right to take a mouthful of the original manna that fell in the beginning." A beautiful type of today when Peter said, "It's to you and to your children, them that's...

Gracious heavenly Father, we are approaching Thee again this morning for mercy and for guidance of the Holy Spirit today, as it's dawned upon us that we should meet together this morning, and to teach Thy Word, that we might know how to live in this present day, and what is the time of day that we're living.

The Deep calling to the deep
56-0415 §40
That's likewise, today. You who believe in divine healing, been taught so, felt that it was a God that could heal, because you seen Him heal others. He has led you here today, like He led Simeon. Men are led by the Holy Ghost today, just the same as they were led then. And the deep called, and there had to be a deep to respond. And in the responding, He came into the building. It's God's duty to push the one into the presence of the deep to respond to the call that's in the deep. Amen. For the Creator, Himself, had...
God's Wrapped Gift
60-1225 §45
That's the way it was in that day. They knowed what was wrapped in it, so they said, "Away with it!" They don't want it. It's the same thing today, never wanted it. And they don't want the Holy Ghost today, is because they know what's wrapped in it. They can watch a person receive the Holy Ghost. They stand out there and see that that woman---maybe as low as she could be, till even the dogs will hardly look at her---see that woman come up from that altar a new person, to see that woman clean her life up, get out an...
