Revelation ch 8 vs 11 the Wormwood in the Greek Bible is called . Pronounced Apsinthos which, I understand in Ukrainian language is Chernobyl . This is a very bitter plant. In 1986, when the Chernobyl NUCLEAR accident happened, it cost many thousands of lives . It rained for three days and the poisoned waters ran like river everywhere thus spreading the danger. They say that more than 1.000.000 people have died because of that nuclear disaster. So this was after the third trumpet ! If we go backward to the second trumpet , and to verse 9, it says that one third of the ship s were destroyed. This refers to the second World War, when from 105.000 ships involved in the war 36.000 thousand ships were destroyed , burnt or sank. That s one third of the ships . So the second trumpet was the Second world War. It s natural to think that the first trumpet refers to the first World War.
