also, why then do you celebrate Easter and Good friday?? Is 3 days not figurative??? If so, then why??

What about Lent? We make that 40 days literally?

My point is that the 40 days of Noah or of the Lord in the desert might or might not have been literally that many days. Likewise, the "1000 years" of Revelation might or might not be literally that time period.

Insisting upon a literal interpretation is where problems come up.

"..might or might not have been literally that many days"

Yes, but what makes you come to that conclusion. What makes you say that this is figurative as opposed to literal??
