Explain to me how Revelation 21:11-22 matches in any way the exiting city of Jerusalem.

Any way. If you cannot (which you can't), then Revelation is not yet complete.

[Cronos]

John 18:36 "My Kingship is not of this world" - and this verse in the book of the Apocalypse references Jeremiah 31:31-33 and Ezekiel 40:1-2 and means Christianity - the perfect Jerusalem

This does NOT usurp the Jewish Old Covenant or that the Jews have complete right not only to the land of Israel but to the West Bank as well

[Cronos]

As an aside, also do note that modern day Judaism and Christianity are both sister religions and both are descended from 2nd Temple Judaism

At the time of the Christ there were a number of Jewish sects - the Essenes, Sadduccees, Samaritans, Pharisees and Christ-followers

The first two depended theologically on the physical presence of the second temple. With it's destruction, their religion was destroyed.

The Samaritans had and HAVE their holy place on Mt Gerizim (incidentally they hold only the Mosaic books and reject modern-day Judaism as innovators)

The Sadducees may be ancestors of the Karazaits and the Mandaens may have some relation to the Essenes, though neither is provable

The Pharasees and Christ-followers didn't depend on the physical presence of the temple so these two survived, evolving into modern day Judaism and Christianity

What did occur in 70 to 196 AD was the competition between Pharasaical Judaism and Christological Judaism. Ultimately with the Bar Kochkba revolt, and the banning of Christians from synagogues, ensured these sister religions were split
