1000 yrs. could easily be stated to mean simply 'a long time'.
That's a possibility.
But it does have a beginning reference point and an ending reference point.

Its like the 144,000 listed in Rev. Do you think its EXACTLT 144,000 people, or just a common Hebrew expression for "a lot"?
Well, what makes you think 144,000 is a common Hebrew expression?

Same with Jesus telling Peter that we must forgive 7 X 70 times.
It does not mean that the 491st time we do not have to forgive.
There does come a time when you are to wipe the dust from your feet.

And, I can forgive forever. But that doesn't mean I condone allow someone to keep doing what they are doing.
