I've heard that explanation too. Where does that come from? Who decided that God sees each day as a 1000 years? Is there a Biblical source for this claim? I'm just curious....

The passage people are taking literally when they make the above claim:

Psalms 90:4 For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.


But why thousand? Where did Moses get that number?

It was a generic "big" number. Like forty days and forty nights. Forty is used often in reference to a number of days in the bible. Big round numbers like 1000 seem very large to humans, and even larger that long ago.
