A thousand years is like a day to the Lord.
2 Peter 3:8-9 NKJV
[8] But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [9] The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Psalm 90:4 NKJV
[4] For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.

I don't believe Jesus was born in the year 0.. That was a calculation a scribe made long after the times of the ministry of Jesus.. Also, The scriptures say that Jesus was about 30 when He started His ministry so Jesus could have been anywhere from 27 to 33 at the start of His 3 year ministry..
Luke 3: KJV
22 "And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. {23} And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,"

I have read a lot of investigations into the death and reasurection of Jesus and the account of this can only happen in a certain years.. The only year where the holy days align with the account is in the year 30 which i got from a site which links to a jewish calander.. I will post the site below..
Reasurection When ?
Reasurection When ?
I came across the bit of logic one night when speaking with someone after they interrupted a private moment.
I was talking with them and somehow I brought up 2,000 years and how long that is...but really...I only know what's at the end of my own lifespan. To date not even 30 years. So bringing up 2,000 is like a non-starter argument.
People in the 1800s were probably talking about the fact that it had been 1800 years!!!
and people in the dark ages were probably talking about the fact that it had been 1,000 years!!!
Of course, I have no idea whether this thought crossed their minds. It just seems to me that it makes sense to watch and be ready as others have done, taking no thought about the passage of time because it is irrelevant and inconceivable really. I can't fathom 2,000 years. I could fathom 400 when I was younger but that is somehow blocked from me at present owing to the fact that every day seems so incredibly long and arduous. I realize the last sentence was random but it gave me a decent bit of peace knowing that the time argument is essentially invalid because it cannot truly be conceptualized.
Do what you can with the time you have. Soon still means soon
