This is advanced and neither here nor there for most, but since you do have the concept of the "last days" being two days of 2,000 years, which I believe is certainly valid, I thought you might want to muse on this. I haven't been able to quite decide.
Bibleman,
Yes, I did say this but the numbers are approximations and not meant to be exact. I think the verse actually says: one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. So the number is not exact but an approximation. And I had in mind that the WT might use this when 1914 failed (I knew it would even though I had to use it in my work for obvious reasons) and I took this alternate view away from them 20 years ago.
