You didn't answer my question.

So whose wrath were the first six? Was God saving them under seal for Satan or something?

It is my belief that everything taught and prophesied in the Bible flows into the Revelation. All lines of prophecy. The apocalyptic stuff we see there is drawn from the rest of the Bible. In this case, the line of prophecy is the olivet discourse, given by the greatest prophet of all. I believe the seals are drawn from that discourse. The Lamb opens the seals in Rev. 5, doesn’t he?

The disciples asked him what the signs would be, and he gave them: antichrist, wars, famines, pestilences, martyrdom, the cosmic day of the Lord, in Revelation the seals. The rest of Revelation greatly expanding on that general outline.

The only wrath of God I see in the seals is in the sixth seal, the wrath of God closing out this age. All the seals do is describe what is ahead of us. They follow Jesus to a tee, a general overview of the end time. The tone changes from general to specific, however, in the trumpets and vials.
