In Rev 4-5, the Lion who is the Lamb who was slain was found worthy to open the scroll containing God's eternal plan of redemption, judgment, and the consummation of all things. Now, in Rev 6, by His authority, the Lamb opens the scroll and enacts its contents.
The first four seals represent a unit of judgment upon the earth due to mankind's sin against God--judgment carried out between the two advents of Christ. We see the punishment of sinners and the purification of saints.
With the fifth seal we see the saints who have died during the judgment of the seals, awaiting the return of Christ and vindication for their brethren on earth.
The sixth seal represents the answer to the prayers of the saints of the fifth seal--final judgment and vindication upon the earth in which creation is dissolved (to make way for the new heavens and new earth) and mankind is in dismay (as final judgment and Christ arrives).
