Exegesis
The temporal boundary is introduced by achri {ἄχρι | ákhri} followed by the aorist passive subjunctive telesthōsin {τελεσθῶσιν | telesthōsin}, “until…should be completed,” which governs the subject phrase hai hepta plēgai tōn hepta angelōn {αἱ ἑπτὰ πληγαὶ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλων | haí heptà plēgaí tōn heptà angélōn}.
In context — Revelation 15:8
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed .
