Pure speculation. The seals correspond to the '7 Churches', which are 7 church AGES. The 'seals' represent specific stages of which the Church would go through for the next 2,000 years since the prophecy was given. Dispensationalists believe that the 'seals' and 'trumpets' are all to take place during a mythical 7 year period at the end of earth's history. This is a false teaching.
"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season..."
I believe these to be Jewish converts of the 2witnesses(Rev.11:3-12), many of whom are martyred during the early years of the Tribulation. See Matt. 24:9;Mark 13:9.

Look up Constantine I. These events are not all happening at once. They were just as relevant to people 1,000 years ago as they are today, though we are much closer to the end than they were, obviously.
I respect your opinion. However, Rev. 4 and 5 imply that the church has been raptured to heaven before the 4 "horses" are released. If that is true, these events all happen early in the Tribulation. Thanks for commenting.
Excellent point! The Rapture is not in Rev. 4 and 5. Please watch my video, The Rapture Versus The Second Coming, for my answer. Thanks for asking. GBY.
thanks for your help

Explain this then.

Could you explain your reasoning for Rev 4-5 impling that the church has been raptured. I read those two chapters and didn't follow your reasoning.
Thanks.
