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.

..., in the Old Testament there was what they call the outer courts. We watch what was in the outer court. Then there was a holy place, or the first veil. And then inside, the holiest of holies.

Hidden Life with Christ
56-0213 §25
Very picture of the church today, in the status it stands in now. Notice how that God gave a picture there then; we'll have to take in the tabernacle to make this proof of it. Now, we find out the tabernacle was a worship place; we come to that last night. The only place, the only common ground that God met with the people was at the tabernacle, under the shed blood. And now there was three different courts, or places in the tabernacle, that I want to draw your attention to. And one of them was the outer courts, th...

...hen Aaron went in... How many times did he get to go into it? Once a year. How did he... He had to have on certain clothes that was made with certain hands, a peculiar type of clothes. He had to be dressed in such a way. He had a pomegranate and a bell, that every time he walked, it played "Holy, holy, holy, unto the Lord." He was approaching the mercy seat, with the blood. And he had to be anointed with a certain oil, perfumed with a certain perfume made out of the rose of Sharon. And Jesus was that rose of Sharon...
Why I am a holy-roller
53-0830A §65
Look, I'd like to stand with Saint Paul this afternoon and say this: "In the way that's called heresy (or foolishness, crazy), that's the way I worship the God of our Fathers." And what the world calls today "holy roller," that's the way I worship Jesus Christ.
Israel and the Church: Israel in Egypt
53-0325 §94
Now, Abraham received the promise. Isaac come along. You know the sacrifices. I've tried to give you back, that that church back there calling out, election, was of God, just like it is today. He called Abraham by election; He calls the church by election. He gave Abraham the promise, Abraham believed it; and He calls the church today. Do you believe Jesus Christ? Then, the first, you believed. And then God had Abraham and his children, his seed, circumcised as a sign; and He gives you the Holy Ghost today as a sig...
