so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is (false) or (true)?
We learn the teachings of Jesus Christ and live the teachings in our lives, which affect those around us. The teachings of Jesus Christ reign on us, and through us reign on and influence the world.
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Live every day as Jesus Christ reign on us.
So be it, that is it, no other way of it.
If you have a better idea, please propose it.
Read in context what Peter wrote there. Peter was refuting the scoffers who were saying Where is the promise of His coming?
Peter says 1000 years is like a day to God, like the blink of an eye in the life of God. That time long ago when Christ spoke of His returning is as if only a day has passed for God.
Other interesting thing is this has come true for us today, it has been 2000 years now, and we are 2000 years long into the last days.
2 Peter 3
Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in
both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of [
a]us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, 3
knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world
that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth
which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and [
b]perdition of ungodly men.
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 [c]us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Christ told us it would be a while before His returning which scoffers conveniently forget.
Luke 19
11
Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. 12 Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten [
e]minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’ 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this
man to reign over us.’
15 “And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’ 17 And he said to him, ‘Well
done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’ 18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’ 19 Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’
20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. 21 For I feared you, because you are [
f]an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you,
you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’
24 “And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give
it to him who has ten minas.’ 25 (But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’) 26 ‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 27 But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay
them before me.’ ”
