Exegesis
That complement is the genitive chain tou thymou tou theou tou zontos {τοῦ θυμοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος | toû thymoû toû theoû toû zṓntos}, literally “of the wrath of the God, the living One.”
The repeated article with each genitive element marks tight syntactic linking, with thymos {θυμός | thymós} as the head noun, theou {θεοῦ | theoû} as a possessive or subjective genitive (“wrath belonging to God”), and zōntos {ζῶντος | zṓntos} as a further defining genitive participle (“the One who lives”).
Root and etymology
zaozeta–alpha–omega
“to live”
In context — Revelation 15:7
And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls, full of the wrath of God , who lives forever and ever.
