Yes it was St. Augustine who developed the first view of replacement theology. Prior to him, Irenaeus to be more specific the church was more literal but imminent view of fulfillment of OT and NT prophecies.

Good post. While Augustine and Irenaeus’s views have some distinction, they are somewhat consistent and not totally conflicting theologies, in other words, there are ways to take the theological truths that each theologian has brought out and reconcile them into a more comprehensive theology on eschatology.
