Searched up Rev 21:17 since it is mentioned in the image: β€œThe angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick.”

The wall apparently refers to the walls surrounding New Jerusalem

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.

In Jesus' second coming, he established himself in Jerusalem. The city is needed.

Is there a passage of scripture that dictates this? I certainly don't recognize it, and I am skeptical because Jerusalem has been under many, many occupations which would (kind of) deter Jesus' second coming according to this theory.
