At the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:16-17 below) the Lamb will show His wrath to make His power known having endured with much longsuffering the wicked (Rom.9:22 below).
God will make known the riches of His glory on the righteous, those whom He has called, Jews and Gentiles alike (Rom.9:23-24 below).
Jews and the Gentiles whom God has called (Rom.9:24 below) are the new creature (Gal.6:15), the church of God, Jesus’ living body (1 Cor.10:32, Col.1:24).
Re.6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE (Lk.21:27, Isa.2:19), and from THE WRATH OF THE LAMB (Re.6:17 below):
Re.6:17 For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME (Re.6:16 above, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7); and who shall be able to stand (Lk.21:36)?
Rom.9:22 [What] if God, willing to shew [his] wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Rom.9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had AFORE PREPARED unto glory,
Rom.9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
