Exegesis
The participle katabainousan {καταβαίνουσαν | ka-ta-baí-nou-san} qualitatively describes the city as “descending,” and the paired prepositions ek and apó link its origin first to heaven (ouranou {οὐρανοῦ | ou-ra-noû}) and then to God (theou {θεοῦ | the-oû}), underlining both the heavenly locus and divine source of the vision.
In context — Revelation 21:10
And he conveyed me in the Spirit onto a lofty and expansive mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God .
