You can not find a "day is as a thousand years" in the bible ?

Hah. That's funny. I wish I had a nickel for every time that verse has been abused by a futurist. And it shows how little folks who quote it know their Old Testament.

“For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.” (Psalm 90:4)

There is absolutely no evidence that phrase is intended by God to demonstrate where we are in creation history. Peter was simply taking his readers back to Psalms. Our days here are nothing in the light of all eternity.

But if that is the sum total of what you are basing your theory on, you are welcome to it.

NAU 2 Peter 3:8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, "AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST," although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day: "AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS";

5 and again in this passage, "THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST."

6 Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,
