Exegesis
The impersonal dei {δεῖ | deî} “it is necessary” plus the aorist passive infinitive luthēnai {λυθῆναι | lu-thḗ-nai} “to be released” expresses divine or prophetic necessity, followed by mikron chronon {μικρὸν χρόνον | mi-krón khró-non}, an accusative of duration indicating the limited time of this release. The English renderings preserve the Greek clause relationships: the hina clause as explicit purpose, the achri phrase as a temporal boundary, and meta tauta with dei as the next mandated development in the narrative sequence.
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 .
