Let $\alpha\not= 0$ be such that for every $\beta<\alpha$ there is $\beta<\gamma<\alpha$, where $V_\gamma$ is an elementary substructure of $V_\alpha$. In other words, $V_\alpha$ is a limit of its $V_\beta$ elementary substructures. Then it is a simple result that $V_\alpha$ models replacement.
My question: Let $\alpha\not= 0$ be such that for every $\beta<\alpha$ there is $\beta<\gamma<\alpha$ and an elementary embedding from $V_\gamma$ to $V_\alpha$. Does it follow that $V_\alpha$ models replacement?
