Quite right. In fact on geological and cosmological timescales, "in 1000 years" essentially means, "momentarily."
The modern measurements which underpin this observation have interesting parallels to the Vedic timekeeping of the Upanishads. Barely a (Brahma) day has passed since the beginning of the universe, and orders of magnitude more time must pass before Vishnu will blink for the first time :)
