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?
I have no idea. But since I heard Marsden reference it a few days ago, and was tied up at work with a messy termination issue, searching Edwards did not seem possible.
