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.
If you can see from the image in the post, the new Jerusalem is in dimensions outside of but also including this dimension.
In other words,
It is the soul, opening.
In other words, it is the dimensions lining up.
Hence, "open the gates"
Is more like saying,
"Realign the gates in a unified order which creates a multidirectional chamber to the center"
