It doesn't.
Are you so uninformed that you don't even understand that the New Covenant promised to Israel includes promises in regard to an earthly city (Jer.31:38-40)?
That covenant will cease to exist when the following happens:
"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved...Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness" (2 Pet.3:10-11, 13).
"And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest" (Heb.1:10-11).
Will you really argue that these prophecies have already been fulfilled? I hope so!
