In Revelation 7 we read about the vision, the sealing of the 144,000 (servants of Elohim from the 12 tribes) which happens after the 6th seal has been opened. The Messengers were commanded not to hurt the earth and the sea, nor the trees until they have sealed the servants of Elohim upon their foreheads.
As Y'shua was the first fruits of the dead, the 144,000 are the first fruits of the living. Revelation 14 tells us they have been redeemed by Y'shua from among men, the first fruits to Elohim and the Lamb: they are without fault; have not been defiled by (women) aka: the "harlot and her daughters" = Gnosticism; false traditions; anti-Torah values; paganism - all which has infiltrated the various religions of today.

When we get to Revelation 9 we are told of Woe #1, when the 5th shofar is sounded and the pit is opened, releasing the demon locust. They have been commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth nor any herb, nor any tree, but only to torment the persons who had not been sealed with the seal of Elohim upon their foreheads. When did the remaining believers become sealed?
The 144,000 are the designated first fruits in the end times scenario, the first of the harvest of all His Set Apart believers. The remaining yet to be sealed in their foreheads happens after the 144,000 are sealed. John records that after those things he saw a great multitude from all kindreds, peoples, tribes and nationalities, crying "Salvation to our Elohim to him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb." These are they who have come out of great affliction and washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb (All Set Apart believers). The rest were sealed during the time period between the opening of the 6th Seal, after the 144,000 were sealed, and before the 5th trumpet is sounded... before the final harvest of the earth begins.
Ephesians 4:22 ~ You have learned that you should lay aside your former ways which corrupted you with desires in falsehoods; and that you should be renewed in the spirit of your minds; and put on the new man that is created by Elohim in righteousness and in the separateness of truth. Therefore, put away from you lying and speak the truth, for we are members one of another by His Spirit. Be angry but do not sin. Do not let the sun go down upon your wrath. And give no place to the Accuser (Satan). And those who stole, steal no more; but let him use his hands to work, and do good acts that he may have plenty in order to give to those in need. Let no hateful language be heard from you, but only that which is beautiful and useful for edification that it may convey grace to those who hear you speak. 30 And do not grieve the Set Apart Spirit of Yahweh whereby you are sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and danger and wrath and clamoring and reviling be taken from you along with all malice: Be caring towards one another and sympathetic, and forgive one another as Elohim by the Mashiyach has forgiven us.
Salvation is The Way in allowing His Spirit to seal us as we become a new creation in righteousness. We become renewed "in the spirit of our minds" aka: sealed in our foreheads.
