Exegesis
Achri {ἄχρι | á-chri} with the aorist passive subjunctive telesthē {τελεσθῇ | te-les-thḗ} marks a temporal limit “until…are fulfilled,” and the object ta chilia etē {τὰ χίλια ἔτη | tá chí-li-a é-tē} treats “the thousand years” as a single unit, explaining the singular verb despite the plural noun “years.”
In context — Revelation 20:3
And he threw him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years are fulfilled. After these things, he must be released for a short time .
