Sure, but this description doesn't correspond to what happened in Chernobyl, and none of the other trumpets have corresponding events.

So do the Evangelicals believe that Chernobyl disaster triggered the apocalypse, and that it has been happening ever since? I don't think so.

Yes, you would have to extend some poetic license.

This was a bit of ad lib, the US branch of Christianity follows it's own logic and sadly I cannot answer the serious question.

I'm pretty sure there were some bits in the Bible about loving thy enemy and turning the other cheek. But maybe I misremember.
