Holy of Holies

No man can stand in the full glory of the LORD, yet He can manifest Himself in part to us, as He did Moses.


Exodus 33:9-11 KJV - And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses. [10] And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door. [11] And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.


Exodus 33:17-20 KJV - And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. [18] And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. [19] And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. [20] And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

In times past, under the covenant of old made through the Levitical priesthood, animals were sacrificed in order for the High Priest of Israel to enter into the Holy of Holies, which is where the LORD dwelt in the Tabernacle of Moses.


Hebrews 9:2-8 KJV - For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. [3] And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; [4] Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; [5] And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. [6] Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God . [7] But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: [8] The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

The High Priest of Israel would make sin offerings for all of Israel once a year by entering into the Holy of Holies and sacrifice animals. This showed the Israelites that the wages of sin is death to the innocent. This was a shadow of the New Covenant that Christ (Messiah) purchased with His own blood that His own people spilled.

Hebrews 9:11-15 KJV - But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; [12] Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us . [13] For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: [14] How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? [15] And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Jesus became the High Priest of the New Covenant and interceeds for us day and night. And with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua, we Christians have boldness to enter into the throne room of grace, the Holy of Holies, and enter into the presence of YHVH (Lord Almighty).

Hebrews 10:19-20 KJV - Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, [20] By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

Apostle Paul is saying His (Jesus) flesh was an offering for our sins, which made us clean through the atonement sacrifice He made for us. He took our place on the cross, and satisfied the wrath of the LORD that was due to us.

It's interesting to note that we are now the temple of God, living stones that make up His Church (Ekklesia). The Spirit of the LORD no longer dwells in temples made my hands, but in each of the believers:

1 Corinthians 6:19 KJV - What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

1 Peter 2:5 KJV - Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Also, the veil in the temple of Moses was symbolic of the veil that sin created between us and YHVH our Heavenly Father. Yet, when the blood of Yeshua was spilled, the veil was torn:

Mark 15:34-38 KJV - And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [35] And some of them that stood by, when they heard it , said, Behold, he calleth Elias. [36] And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. [37] And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. [38] And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

It is my hope that we each see that the wages of sin is death, even death of the Most Holy One, Immanuel, God with us.

Wednesday, November 28,
The night of October 10th, I retired early to be alone with God. I’d felt a calling that only grew stronger throughout the day, a beckoning if you will, to get away with Him. Anticipation grew, as I understood there was something He wanted to tell or show me.
Immediately upon entering my bedroom and sitting down, I was drawn into a spirit of praise and worship. After a few minutes, a quiet stillness entered the room.
As I sat there with eyes closed, a love stronger than I’ve ever experienced completely enveloped me. It was so strong, I slide out of the chair onto my knees. The presence of God filled the room, and I knew the Father and Jesus were right there with me. We communed silently in the Spirit for a few moments as I felt arms embracing me, and then I opened my eyes.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Jesus with a bouquet of flowers coming towards me. They were an assortment of the most beautiful flowers I’d ever seen. As He extended the flowers, I put forth my hands to receive them, and immediately heard the following:
“The way to the Garden is open again!”
“Entrance is obtained through Jesus.”
“Come to the Garden!”
In the days that followed, I knew the Lord wanted this shared, but every time I sat down to write, all I could do was weep. There were no words to describe the love and beauty of what had happened. So, I waited, knowing God had more to show about this most intimate encounter.
While in prayer the early morning hours of November 7th, the presence of the Lord filled the room as before. I immediately knelt down at the side of my bed in worship. It was then I felt someone kneeling beside me, and knew it was Jesus. Suddenly, I saw the hands of a man in front of us holding a golden cup full of red wine. He handed it to Jesus.
My eyes were only seeing what was directly in front of me. In my peripheral vision, I saw the hands of Jesus extend out and take the cup. It disappeared from my vision for a second, and I understood He had taken a drink. His hands appeared again as He extended the cup to me. I took the cup from His hands, and just as I put it to my lips, the Holy Spirit said,
“His Bride will drink from His cup!”
Interpretation:
As soon as I heard those words, the Lord began to reveal the longing He has for His bride to join Him in the Inner Sanctuary, that Most Holy Place where the Bride and Bridegroom will commune with the Father! He showed me the connection between it and the Garden of Eden – the first most intimate place of communion between God and man. He began by comparing the earthly and heavenly sanctuary.
The earthly sanctuary was symbolic for the present time, in that the priests went about performing services: taking care of the lamp stand, table, show bread, the offering of gifts and sacrifices, very much like organized Christianity operates today. All such work is performed in the first part of the tabernacle, the outer chamber. But the second part of the tabernacle, the Inner Chamber, was off limits to all except the High Priest, who could not enter except once per year – and not without blood (Heb.9:7). The earthly sanctuary is a copy of the heavenly (Heb. 8:5).
Entering the Heavenly Sanctuary
Jesus entered this Most Holy Place in the heavens with His own Blood as payment for sin once and for all. He also rent in two the veil which separated the Holy of Holies, opening the way for us!
It was never meant for God to continue dwelling there alone. The Lord is calling His Bride to share His innermost intimate chamber. It is time for the two to become one!
In the vision, I saw Jesus hand His Bride the cup, and heard God say, “His Bride will drink from His cup!”
Jesus entered this secret, Most Holy place by His death. God showed me Her hand was on the spear as it was inserted into his side, and His blood flowed forth for her. Now she must drink of His cup! His Bride may not enter the chamber any other way. Nothing prevails in the heavenly sanctuary except death.
To enter, she must die completely to self, to her plans, hopes, dreams, desires, and ambitions. She must die to everything the god of this world has used to woo and distract her. As she enters the chamber, she enters as a dead woman, offering and pouring out her very life to Him. She becomes like Him to be united with Him.
Saints, we need to remember, “For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross…” Jesus didn’t just die – but He rose!
What He has shown me will happen once we enter into the Most Holy Place, that “secret chamber” where we abide and commune with the Father and our Bridegroom, is staggering.
Everything the Father has given to the Son will be shared with His Bride! The impartation, the flow from the Father, to the Son, to the Bride, is breathtaking. As she gives Herself fully to Him, she opens herself to receive all He has to give her. This will be when she becomes the FULLNESS of Him… walking in all His Glory! The final acts of the Church will stagger even the rulers and principalities in the heavenly realms!
Please pray over all that has been presented here, for confirmation and further revelation. Things are moving very quickly now. If your desire is to be used mightily by God in the days ahead, you MUST come to the Inner Sanctuary. This is the “Secret Place” of Psalms 91!
God is saying,
“The way to the Garden is open again!”
“Entrance is obtained through Jesus.”
“Come to the Garden!”
Personal Note:
I believe the Lord would have me share in more detail, the things I was shown happen after the Bride enters the Inner Chamber, what He will share with Her… God willing, this will be continued…
