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.”
