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}.
The repetition of hepta {ἑπτὰ | heptà} before both plēgai and angelōn forms a tightly bound unit, emphasizing fullness and divinely ordered completeness of judgment. In translation, the passive verbs are rendered with natural English passives (“was filled,” “were completed”) to retain the implied divine agency, while the achri + subjunctive structure is expressed as “until … were completed / had come to an end” to convey a definite eschatological endpoint.
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 .
