Moses didn't happen to pray an equation {1,000 human years} = {1 God day}
it is written, a simile:
which is two similes, 'in His sight' time is not as in our sight.
i believe if you ignore 'when it is passed' and if you ignore 'a watch in the night' then you definitely fall into error, because you are taking away from the word. it's not the person who acknowledges all of the scripture, but the person who deletes some of it and only picks out a bit they like, who misleads.
in the reckoning of the Hebrews, which would have been Moses' there are 3 watches in the night.
((see: Lamentations 2:19, Judges 7:19, Exodus 14:24, 1 Samuel 11:11)) -- a single watch is about 4 hours.
in the Roman era, they counted 4 watches in the night, 3 hours for each single watch.
((see: Matthew 14:25, Mark 13:35))
so put 1,000yr = 4hr = 1d into your "formula" -- don't leave out what the Bible actually says!
24hr = 4hr
now what do you have?
what does this teach us? it is what the scripture says, and it's not a unit conversion -- or if it is, it is telling us that time is broken and we cannot consistently count it. depend then on the Lord's patience, and His reckoning, not some imagined currency calculator.

A thousand years in Your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,

Psalms 90 is a prayer of Moses REALLY. What I have emphasized is that Moses said praying to the LORD God Almighty (you know, God is a title, the Word is God, the invisible God, understand?) that 1,000 years - 365.000 days of 24hours day, are as yesterday in the sight of the Most High God - this is not an invention, or speculation, or presumption, or yet a foolish comparison of times, in the speech of Mosés, absolutely. Who said THIS THINGS to Moses was the own God, so THE source of what Moses said was the own God, understand? Again, what God Almighty revealed to Moses about times - here is a revelation - has nothing to do with human foolish comparisons, God is not a fool.
If you all believe in what the Apostle Peter said, after all he knew the Psalms 90 so well, then you will understand better what was revealed by GOD to Moses about the times:
2Peter 3:v.8 - 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. But who want to ignore, ignore it.
verse 7: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto FIRE against the Day of Judgment and perdition of ungodly men. - That is the seventh and last Day or seventh and last millennium, the Millennium of Christ, the Millennium of Truth, the Millennium of Vengeance, the Millennium of Judgment, the Jugment Seat of Christ. It's it.
Furthermore, Moses said more these things in his PRAY:
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
the Psalm says:
Psalms 90:4
a thousand years in Thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past,
and [as] a watch in the night.
Peter says:
2 Peter 3:8
one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day.
The Psalm does not say and a thousand years are as a day.
Peter does not say or as a watch in the night.
It is significant that Peter doesn't actually quote the passage.
It means he is telling us a principle we should not be ignorant of, not reciting an exact formula we are to recollect.
If we'd care to read the very next thing Peter says it is obvious what he means to get across to us...
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Even the own God revealed to Moses about times and Moses understood so well what God revealed unto him, so in his prayer Moses remembered before God how great is He - God - (btw from everlasting to everlasting), so one Day with God (for example the Kingdom of God that will be established now for 1.000 years or 365.000 days of 24 hours) is as a 1.000 years in the manner men control the time, called calendar today. The Great Day of the Lord, the Millennium of Christ, will be 1,000 years - 365.000 days of 24hours in human calendar - as says the Lord, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
By the way, JESUS came to preach the Gospel of God's Kingdom not after 96 hours after Adam or 4 days of 24 hours, as you all believe, but around 4.000 years or 1.460.000 days of 24hours, thus, for God the Father the time is counted as four Days in accord His own criteria to count the generations and men's times.
Again. The first coming of JESUS occurred not four days of 24hours or 96 hours after Adam, as you all believe, but 1.460.000 days of 24hours or around 4.000 years after Adam, understand?
And more: maybe you all do not believe in JESUS, but JESUS left very clear that God the Father was yet working when He sent Him in the fourth Day or 1.460.000 days of 24hours after Adam: JESUS said: “My Father has been working until now, and I too am working.” John 5:v.17.
It was yet the fourth Day when God the Father sent the Greater Light to rule the day - that is JESUS, understand? By the way, are you of the day or of the night or of the darkness?

What prevails is the Word of God. The Word is God.
Micah prophesied: But in the last days (these days have already arrived) it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills (above all nations) ; and people shall flow unto it.
God said: Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the Day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand; - Oh the prophet Joel prophesied: the Day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand; But I tell unto you all: This Day, the great Day of the Lord, has arrived, yeah, it has arrived.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains - yeah, the mountain of the house of the Lord - like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together. The Lord of hosts musters the host of the battle. Howl ye, for the Day of the Lord arrived, it comes as a destruction from the Almighty.
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt, and they will be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they will be in pain, for this Day of the Lord came, cruel, both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
At midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him. Matt.25:v.6
They that be ready will in with him to the marriage: door's shut.
The kingdoms of THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever. Rev. 11:15
Oh, for this cause or in face of this great and celestial event, the nations will be angry uh!, but the wrath of God is come also, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that God gives reward unto His servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear His name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.
The Lord said by the prophet Ezekiel: Thus saith the Lord God; Whoever is inclined to listen will listen, and whoever is inclined to refuse in to listen, let him will refuse it.

Then tell me what the word of God says about lumping everyone you come in contact with here as you all.

And more: maybe you all do not believe in JESUS
did I say I believe four days 24hours?
