No, he did not believe in a literal 1000 year reign. | Marsden speaks of him as having a very literalistic approach to the millennium. He says that Edwards estimated that the world would last 6 1,000 years days (employing Ussher's chronology), and then would come the golden millennial age/sabbath in about the year 2,000 a.d. | Marsden says that, but does Edwards say that?
