Because I am pretty sure that Hashem's explicit  reign at the end of history
will last for more than 24  hours......

In the context of the great day that is coming (lifnei ba yom Hashem), the  
"day" is clearly the day Hashem's reign begins, the day Mashiach comes, the 
 day of the Ge'ulah.  It doesn't refer to the entirety of His reign.
 
I tend to think the seven days of Bereishis are probably non-literal (no  
sun till Wed, what's a day?), but this pasuk is a pretty weak "proof" that  
Yom Hashem is a non-literal day.
