which were filled to the brim with the seven last plagues,

Paraphrase
Then came one of the compliment of capable agents which was more than sufficient to carry out their orders; these agents had been responsible for the entire compilation of evidence that would be used in determining consequences; it was more than enough evidence to make necessary the last punishments yet to come.
He spoke to me saying, “Come, I will show you the one who has committed to keep herself pure and set apart for the one she loves, the one who enjoys incredibly intimate communion with THE ONLY EFFICACIOUS SACRIFICE.”

This angel and his cohorts were responsible, in some part, for the evidence used in setting consequences, and for the delivery of those consequences. This makes the faithfulness of the saints even more special—for if anyone, apart from God himself, could attest to the worthiness of the faithful to receive their rewards it would be one of these agents that serve on behalf of God to fulfill this specific duty.
