Exegesis
The articular participial phrase tou echontos {τοῦ ἔχοντος | toû échontos} with its object ten exousian {τὴν ἐξουσίαν | tḗn exousíān} and the prepositional phrase epi tas plegas tautas {ἐπὶ τὰς πληγὰς ταύτας | epì tàs plēgàs taútas} functions attributively, portraying God as the One who possesses jurisdiction “over these plagues.”
In context — Revelation 16:9
And the people were scorched by great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God , Who holds authority over these plagues; and they did not repent to give Him glory.
