It is mankind that has to become righteous to put things back to a harmonious situation.
I meant what you are basing your own thoughts on, not that your thoughts are the fake theology itself.
Perhaps you'd be willing to articulate 3-5 points of what you consider "fake theology" in the above.

Dispensationalism has been traced all the way back to the 1st century church . . . in addition to being in The Bible.
And, evidently they don't have Jeremiah 31 in their Bibles either.
Yes, and not to mention the Greek word means "distinct, segments of time". Augustine was heavily influenced by Origen who adopted an extreme allegorization of scripture. It became unpopular when the pulpits were paid by Rome to teach that Jesus was coming back literally in the flesh and blood. That the millenium wasn't literal, and that He'd be ruling and reigning in our hearts, yada yada. The laity didn't have bibles themselves and had to go primarily by what the clergy had to say. The Reformation did a marvelous job with separating from the RCC in the area of Soteriology, but never took the same skeptical and biblical look at Eschatology. And so now 70% of the denominational churches that arose from the reformation still embrace an amillenialist theology.

Everything must be allegoricalized, Damascus really won't be decimated forever. Babylon as well. There really won't be half the worlds population killed. All symbolic don't ya know?
I really don't understand your point without some particulars.
Nice to see you at least didn't start crying.
and be incredibly determined to learn nothing from it of any spiritual or preparatory value whatsoever.
