Exegesis
This is followed by an extensive genitive construction ek tōn hepta angelōn tōn echontōn tas hepta phialas {ἐκ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλων τῶν ἐχόντων τὰς ἑπτὰ φιάλας | ek tôn hep-tá ang-gé-lōn tôn e-khón-tōn tas hep-tá phi-á-las} ‘from the seven angels who have the seven bowls’, where the participle echontōn {ἐχόντων | e-khón-tōn} ‘having’ attaches the agents to their judgment vessels.
A nested genitive chain tōn gemontōn tōn hepta plēgōn tōn eschatōn {τῶν γεμόντων τῶν ἑπτὰ πληγῶν τῶν ἐσχάτων | tôn ge-món-tōn tôn hep-tá plē-gôn tôn es-khá-tōn} ‘which are full of the seven last plagues’ adds cumulative description and heightens the sense of finality through repetition of articles.
In context — Revelation 21:9
One of the seven angels holding the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues approached me and declared, “Come, and I will show you the bride , the wife of the Lamb .”
