Numerology is not a authorized way of interpreting the word of God. The mysteries are found in parables, the golden measure of faith
Adam to Noah a thousand years and Noah to Israel a thousand years, so a thousand years seems to be an important number for God.

Because 1/3 is actually 0.3333333333333333, and 2/3 is actually 0.6666666666666667, and we know for sure that a number divided by itself is one.
'the error of approximation'

a thousand years as one day
1000x365=365,000
365,000x6=2,190,000

Homophonic
two = love
one = want
nine = save
000 = satan
That's how we use numbers in chinese.

love wants save Soul/sprite

I don't know what Satan means here. maybe God even wants to save Satan.
The devil is on a set course established by God, and He's not about to repent and change said course.
It is written,

Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

It was a literal night and morning for each day.

I can't see the connection between this verse and the devil.

This statement doesn't seem specific enough to answer all the issues at hand...

but it's probably fine as an approximation..
.
i should note, error due to approximation is not the same as 'ballpark error' -- that's when you miss an easy catch ;)

Now, just hypothetically of course, let's just say... mmm... that I miss ALL catches.

Is there a mathematical term for that?

Adam to Noah a thousand years and Noah to Israel a thousand years, so a thousand years seems to be an important number for God.
Its not a exact thousand years.

I am sure all numbers are important to God. The number word, "thousand" and the plural form "thousands" are used as metaphors throughout the bible , if you would search is used to represent an unknown as to whatever in in view to include time period .It does not mean that a literal thousand can be used .Context usually helps us to understand when it is used in a parable as a metaphor to give us the unseen spiritual understanding called hidden manna in Revelation

God does not give literal numbers to count to those who walk by faith. Satan incited David to number the people. Satan was a murder from the beginning, many fell because David did number and the same with giving dates .Christ will come as a thief in the night . those who walk by faith can watch but like with Noah he will still come on a day when no one expects as a thief in the night.

An example using the word thousand to represent a unknown or non numerable . Using the dust as a metaphor if a person could number it then they could number the number of the bride of Christ the church .There Rebekah stands to represent the bride of Christ as the mother of us all the new Jerusalem as what we will be when receive the promise of our new incorruptible bodies

Genesis 24:60And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

The Holy Spirit declares let the seed ,Christ the husband posses the gates . The gospel the key that binds and loosens . The gates of hell could never prevail against it, as shown in another parable(.Judges 16:3) using Samson to signify Christ moving the kingdoms of this world to the unseen Kingdom of God represented Hebron (Place Of Joining, Alliance )

The word thousand is used as a metaphor to represent a unknow over and over. .The signified language of Revelation is not exempt from parables and metaphor used to find the understanding of the parable,.

Judges 16:3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron

Thousands is used to represent all

Exodus 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Or like below the word thousand represent all, a unknown number .He owns all the cattle on all the hill. His name is Jealous.

Psalm 50:10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
