Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἀπήνεγκέν με ἐν Πνεύματι ἐπὶ ὄρος μέγα καὶ ὑψηλόν
˱he˲_carried_away me in /the/_Spirit to /a/_mountain great and high
See how you translated the expression in the Spirit in 1:10 and 4:2. Alternate translation: [as he carried me away to a great and high mountain, the Holy Spirit inspired me so that I could receive further revelation]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
μέγα καὶ ὑψηλόν
great and high
The terms great and high mean similar things. John is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation, as in UST: “very high”
21:10 a great, high mountain: In Scripture, experiences with God frequently take place on the mountains (cp. Ezek 40:2; see also Exod 3:1; 19:10-25; Deut 34:1-4; 1 Kgs 18:20-40; 19:8-18; Matt 5:1; 15:29; 17:1; 24:3; 28:16).
• the holy city . . . descending out of heaven from God: God’s presence and eternal life cannot be reached by human effort but are received as a gift (Eph 2:8-9; cp. 2 Cor 5:1).

OET (OET-RV) Then in the spirit, he carried me away to a very large, high mountain and he showed me the HOLY city, Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
