Yes, for more on the views of the Reformers and Puritans on the re-engrafting of the Jews, see Iain H. Murray's book The Puritan Hope. Although, it is true that Calvin denied this in his commentary on Romans 11.

One modern amillennialist who agrees with the view that there would be a revival among the Jews is Cornelis Venema in his book The Promise of the Future.
