First of all the numbers are arbitrary. It could just as easily say a million days to us is a second to God. It's just to point out that God invented time and is free from its constraints.
Deep inspection could yield one to believe that God does not experience time. Existence as we know it is dependent on time so we cannot fathom his existence.
Why worship such an overwhelmingly different creature? Because your worship yields big profits for big religion! Whoops! I just revealed my agnostic tendencies. Now you won't listen to what I've said. What a waste of time that was.

That passege is from:
2 Peter 3:8-9 "But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
Both the Rapture of the Church and Jesus' Second Coming have been a source of hope for Christians, and at the same time a subject of ridicule for nonbelievers. The apostle Peter explains that our timetable is not God's timetable. God wants as much people to come to repentance, and gives them ample time to turn to HIm.

God said that Adam and Eve would "surely die within the day", and both of them lived just under 1,000 years. There is also a verse (wish I could remember which one it is) that says "a thousand years is a day and a day is a thousand years".
A day can also be 2500+ years, in another biblical book. A day is basically just a symbolic term to mean "amount of time". It doesnt mean 24 hours, or any specific amount of time.

I didn’t see the explanation on TBN, but I can explain it to you. God is a spirit and dwells in a land that is spiritual which is not made of physical matter. In this spiritual land, time is not experienced in the same way that we do. We experience it in a linear fashion, that is, we experience a moment in time, then another moment in time, and each one following another. In the spiritual world, time is not experienced in a linear fashion. It is all at once. I know that is very difficult for us to understand this concept; I certainly don’t understand it. But this is one thing no one can fully understand until, and if, one is in the spiritual world.

2 peter 3
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years , and a thousand years as one day.
It simply means that God has no time scale, a Day to God can be billions of years to us.
But while man is in the flesh alive he will keep one day but a 1000 years (about)

God is eternal. Relatively speaking, a thousand years to Him is a day, because His concept of time is so different. When we pray for an answer to a prayer and it comes a year later, we feel like it took "forever", but with God, it's right on time.

Time is not what is important to God.. Pretty much it has no meaning to him & doesn't affect him like us.
Ok you can look at it this way also... God created this WHOLE WORLD IN 6 DAYS!!!! on the 7th day he rested... Man says it took millions of years! Because man can not grasp the true power of God!
The things that we find complex & uncomprehendable are childs play to God!
Ex: we've only been recording history for a couple of thousands of years... That is like God blinking his eyes!
Also it takes man 1,000's of years to try to understand the human body & how it all works...
It took God no time at all to create our bodies, in all their complexity!
Hope this makes sense to you.
God Bless!

It says in the bible a day is a thousand years and a thousand years is as one day (to God). In other words numbers don't mean anything to God. I learned this to be true when my grandson had a inter-cranial monitor in his head and it was up to 60. I said ,"God how can you let it go that high? " God said to me, "remember that passage about a thousand years and a day? Numbers don't mean anything to me," I can make a way when there is no way." My grandson recovered." Praise God"

2 Peter 3:8 However, let this fact not be escaping your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with YHWH/Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. (Psalms 90:4)
