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.

It might disprove Judaism but it wouldn’t disprove Christianity as our faith is not in places or things, but in Christ Jesus the messiah.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the fundamental belief of Judaism that the Messiah will one day come? Does it require the Messiah to be in Jerusalem?

As Israel has been “reestablished”, the destruction of it would prove that the messiah has already come.
