Now Can I ask you what makes you think 40 days and 40 nights is figurative or that the 1000 year reign in Revelations is figurative.I think 40 days and 40 nights does not need to be taken literally any more than seventy times 7 does. 70x7 means lots and lots. 40 days and forty nights means a long time. 1000 years means a really really long time. That is how I am convicted to read scriptures.
To which calendar do you think the 1000 years applies?

"To which calendar do you think the 1000 years applies?" I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. I personally think it applies to the definition of a year used in the Bible which is a 360 day year (12 months at 30 days each).
Now on what basis do you determine that the 40 days and 40 nights of Jesus's temptation was not literal???

G-d's calendar of 6000 years as of now. Tehillim 122:6
Pray for shalom in Yerushalayim; may those who love you prosper.
