Exegesis
The following accusative string angelous hepta echontas plegas hepta tas eschatas {ἀγγέλους ἑπτὰ ἔχοντας πληγὰς ἑπτὰ τὰς ἐσχάτας | an-gé-lous hep-tá é-khon-tas plē-gás hep-tá tás es-khá-tas} forms a tightly bound unit in which the participle echontas modifies angelous, identifying the angels by what they are “having” or “holding.” The repetition of hepta (“seven”) and the attributive phrase tas eschatas (“the last”) emphasize both completeness and finality within a sequence of judgments.
