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.

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...
Why I am a holy-roller
53-0830A §15
...nd we believe that. So, I pray now that in trying to explain this afternoon why I love You and why I have chosen by Your will, I believe, to serve You in this beautiful way of holiness and mercies of God, I pray that You will help us today. Circumcise my lips with Thy Holy Spirit. And circumcise the ears of the people that they might hear. And may the Holy Spirit take the Word of God and deliver it to each heart as we have need. For we ask it in Christ's name. Amen.
Why I'm against organized religion
62-1111E §117
Notice, this is the angel of light, remember, the last angel, it's the angel in the church age to the Laodicea. It's the Laodicea messenger, that, it's the last, because the very next chapter is the 19th chapter, which is the coming bride. And this is, in the Scripture, the last angel that came to bring light before the coming of the bride to go meet Christ. It was the Laodicean church age, then. What was the Laodicean church age messenger? Calling them out of Babylon! Look! Churches caught in her cage with her, wi...
Palmerworm, locust, cankerworm and caterpillar
53-0612 §72
I believe tonight, what the caterpillar left back yonder, the palmerworm eaten. But I believe that same old time Holy Ghost religion lives in the world today and is willing to save anybody from a life of sin. Amen. Let's see... Oh, my! Let's bow our heads. Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight, that the undergrowth is coming up. The fig tree is putting forth buds again. O God, send the rain, former and latter rain together that the trees might grow, O Lord, coming up in this blistered sin-cursed, damnable worl...
Joseph meeting his brethren
56-1230 §45
Now, Moab, the land of Moab was not infidelic. They were believing in the same God that Israel believed in, for they were the sons of Lot's daughters, Lot's daughter who conceived while Lot was drunk, by her own father. And he went over and that's where Moab sprung from. And when their prophet come out, their teacher, money crazed, and set up altars, seven altars exactly the same amount of altars was required down here. Here's Moab setting here, the great fine denominational land all fixed and figured. And here was...
