“Where does new Jerusalem descend to, here?”

Well, in the verse that speaks of it, it says that it is descending from heaven, so obviously it CANNOT be descending to heaven as well. It must be descending somewhere else, so your arguments about a “spiritual mountain” are just silly.

John was not "in the spirit" when he saw the city descending? I must have misread the verse. I will post it again:

"And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God," (Rev 21:10 KJV)

I was correct, after all. John was in the spirit, at or near a great and high mountain, when he saw the holy Jerusalem descend. Sounds like a spiritual city and mountain to me. The description of the mountain as "great and high" certainly excludes those little hills (the ones they pretend are mountains) in the physical land of Israel.

LOL!
