Replacement theology? Yes or No.

Not caring and acceptance of evil is the fruit of dispensationalist doctrine.
If an evil can be incorporated into the eschatological prediction, cover can be provided for it in the form of either indifference or even cheering it on.
Good teaching has the spirit of God and is not like that.
Light exposes unrighteousness and salt when it meets corruption stings.
A tree is known by it's fruit.

God has "Incorporated evil" into His eschatological predictions you say?

Sounds crazy to me. Please explain.

You got that right brother.
And we are not allowed to criticize them. Definitely on a pedestal. And many are bowing to them.

Actually.....you are not allowed to hate their guts and demand that they cease to exist.

Which many on this thread do anyway, gleefully and with great vigor.

I expect dreadful things to accompany this horrid sentiment BTW. Things like this:

[Rev 3:3 KJV] – 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Did I mention that I have great love and feelings of warmth and reverence for Jews every time that I am so fortunate so as to encounter one?

The real test of good teaching is whether it agrees with the whole counsel of God, not whether its conclusions are uncomfortable for you.

In principal I agree with this statement.
What I am talking about is less about you and I and more about what the real test of good teaching is.
One aspect of the council of God is that good teaching produces good fruit.

Mathew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

By far the worst fruit is heresies and false doctrine wouldn't you agree? Such as this:

[2Ti 2:17-18 KJV]
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

[2Pe 3:3-4 NKJV]
3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,
4 and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of creation."

Oh and BTW, we never did hear a peep out of you as regards your "interpretation" of these passages. Care to chime in? Or perhaps you prefer to ignore them altogether?

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
John 18:36

Some people read John 18 verse 36, where Jesus says, "My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews:" and they assume that Jesus is saying His Kingdom is only in heaven. That we will live in some ethereal place above the clouds. But, Jesus was saying that His earthly Kingdom was not of that age, which was the Roman world empire, the forth empire of Daniels vision, that still exists today in a different form. Daniel 7 verse 22, tells of a time when judgment is given to the saints of the most high, "and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom."

Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Daniel 7:22

Isaiah 9 verse 6 prophesis of the birth of Jesus and says: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder:" thats the new heaven and Earth.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6

And in Psalms 37 verse 11 we read "the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psalms 37:11

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5

The 'devastated earth' theory arises from a statement by Peter in 2 Peter 3 verse 10, who wrote:

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.
2 Peter 3:10

So is Peter going against the rest of scripture? or is something else meant?

Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2 Peter 3:6

II Peter 3 verse 6, tells us that the first heavens and earth ended in judgment by water. The 'world that then was' is describing the perverted political system in the days of Noah that passed away.

But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:7

The passing of the present heaven and earth is referring to the end of the social order which is the earth, and the end of the political or government order, which is the heavens, which will all be wiped out and come under the judgement of God, to make way for a new heaven and new earth, which is the Kingdom of God on this earth.

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Revelation 21:1

Going back to 2 Peter 3 verse 10, and looking at the word elements, which seems to be the cause of the confusion, we see that the translation comes from the Greek word "stoicheion" which means something orderly in arrangement, in Hebrews 5 verse 12 this same word is translated "principles" which makes the meaning clearer in my opinion. The accepted 'rules' or 'principles' will pass away.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles (stoicheion) of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Hebrews 5:12

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.
2 Peter 3:10

You give me reason to question some of my imaginations about that day, but whatever the world becomes after the resurrection I am sure that it is radically different to the way it is now.
There is "no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain" (Rev. 21:4).
All things are made new (Rev.21:5), and we are raised in a "spiritual body" (1 Corinthians 15:44).
It seems that there is a lot more going on here than any of us should be attempting to explain.
I will post the relevant passage in 1 Corinthians in full just to see if it gives you that impression too:

1 Corinthians 15:36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
52 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
