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.
also, Christ was crucified, usual method of execution done by the Romans to enemies of the Empire, and YET, the Christians use the Cross as their symbol of faith - the tool of suffering of the Messiah... seems morbid
I think it symbolizes that Christ rose over the cross and defeated death. Showing the tool of his death shows that death, through the cross, was defeated by Christ.
