Unfortunately, I have yet to find a source that I like.
The first four seals are obviously linked together. The 5th and 6th seals have one thing in common: they both discuss martyrdom, and both describe martyrs as wearing white robes.
The difference, to me, is that the 5th seal refers to martyrs who were killed before the tribulation, and the 6th to those who are killed during the tribulation.
The 5th seal martyrs are in Hades, have been waiting for a long time, and are told to wait just a little longer. The 6th seal martyrs are in heaven, having bypassed Hades. I presume that when the 5th seal martyrs are given their robes, they will also be given access to heaven, to be joined shortly by the 6th seal martyrs as they are killed.
I take it that all these martyrs dressed in white will return with Christ as His army.
