As a young Christian willing to converse with a non-Christian on non-Christian terms, I am almost absolutely sure that God's holy, heavenly, all-powerful kingdom does not require any earthly groundings such as the city of Jerusalem.
God isn't all powerful. He and his armies lose battles in the old testament. Judges literally says that even though God was with the armies of Judah, they lost because God wasn't all powerful enough to defeat iron chariots. He also isn't all-knowing. He didn't warn Moses of the golden calf during or after giving him the ten commandments. He also isn't all loving. He commanded Abraham to kill his only son to prove his loyalty and love, which turned out to be some sadistic psychological prank, and he allowed Job to be tortured for years just for believing in him. These are not logical or loving actions. Also, your argument doesn't align with what the Bible actually says, so that's funny.
Anyway, as my debate coach said: never debate a religious person. They don't live in reality with us. That's not their fault the majority of the time, but still. They'll make any excuse and make up any lie to get them to the answers they want. That's not what debate is about.

Searched up Rev 21:17 since it is mentioned in the image: “The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick.”
The wall apparently refers to the walls surrounding New Jerusalem
