Where is the Holiest Place on Earth?


Where was the holiest place on Earth? Jerusalem is the Holy City and in Jerusalem stood the temple where God's presence could be found.  In that temple was a room called the Kodesh Hakodashim which means Holy of Holies.  That one small room was the holiest place on earth.

Once a year, at Yom Kippur, one man would enter that most holiest of places to sprinkle the blood of the sacrificial lamb on the Mercy Seat.  When he was in this room, no one witnessed anything that was done or said. This was a secret room where only one man came into the presence of God.

The Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, so where is that secret place now?  What is the holiest place on Earth since the Holy of Holies no longer exist?  It can be found where ever you put it.

God desires to meet with you one on one.  Just one person meeting in secret with God.  The best part is that He no longer wants this as a once a year event, but everyday.  What room do you have where you meet with God totally separated from the world?  Where is that secret place where only you and God meet together to commune and share each others hearts.  A place of intimacy and safety to share all secrets with each other.  This is where God will share His thoughts with you.  This one secret place is where you will hear His voice and see His glory.  This is where God reveals Himself to you and where you will find only love as you reveal yourself to Him. 

Where you meet with God, that room is the holiest place on earth.
