Exegesis
Finally, the impersonal verb deî with infinitive meinai and adverbial oligon in oligon auton dei meinai {ὀλίγον αὐτὸν δεῖ μεῖναι | o-lí-gon au-tón deî meî-nai} expresses necessary duration: “it is necessary to remain a little.” The Greek asyndeton and precise article use heighten the sense of unfolding successive rule.
In context — Revelation 17:10
And they are seven kings . The five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come; and whenever he comes, it is necessary for him to remain a little while.
