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 never come across that idea in Edward's writing. What would you do with Jesus' own words, "No man knows the day or the hour."
