King David also makes mention of the Holy of Holies in one of his prayers,   
   found in Psalm 28 :   
      
   "[A Psalm of David.] Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not   
   silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go   
   down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto   
   thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle."   
   Psalms 28:1-2, KJV   
      
   There are many other verses in the Old Testament where the term "the holy   
   place" is used, but they are too many to list here. In the New Testament,   
   Jesus referred to "the holy place" when He gave His Endtime sermon in   
   Matthew chapter twenty-four. Whether He meant the general temple area, or   
   the actual Holy of Holies itself, is a matter of speculation:   
      
   "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of   
   by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, whoso readeth, let him   
   understand:)"   
   Matthew 24:15, KJV   
      
   In the his Epistle to the Hebrews, where Paul explains that Jesus has become   
   the Final Sacrifice for sin, and our Eternal High Priest and Intercessor   
   before the Throne of His Father, he also refers back to Old Testament temple   
   worship, and the Holy of Holies, when he states :   
      
   "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 . . . Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high   
   priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;"   
   Hebrews 9:12, 25, KJV
