Peter said, "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." 2 Peter 3:8 Here he is expanding on Psalm 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."
Christians have interpreted this verse many ways and some have used it to show that God would return in or around 2000 AD as that would mean that the world would be six days old (6000 years) and then the millennium would be 1 more day (1000 years).
However, I am sure Peter just meant that time to God is not the same as time to us. I am older now and time goes by more quickly. There are some days in which time drags, like the four hours I spend at the college waiting for students to come for tutoring, or time rushes on and the kids, grand kids grow up so quickly. Peter is just telling us that to God it hasn't been a long time.
