Modern Prophets have learned that a day in Heaven is roughly 1000 years on Earth, so the fact that Adam died nearly 1000 years after he ate the fruit fits with God's proclamation that he would die that very day.
That was God's proclamation, according to the writers of The Holy Bible, not God himself.
