A sequential interpretation of Revelation events doesn't work because it says in verses 6:12-14 that every island and mountain is moved out of its place, which would be an extraordinarily catastrophic event to land and sea, and then it says in verses 7:2-3 that instruction is given
after those things occur to not hurt the land and sea until the servants of God are sealed.
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. Revelation 6:12-14
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. Revelation 7:1
And I saw another angel having ascended from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God. And he cried out with a great voice to the four angels, to the ones whom it was given to them to injure the earth and the sea, saying, Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we seal the servants of our God upon their foreheads. Revelation 7:2-3
