From the very article you cited, "Evangelical Christians have been too eager to gloss biblical prophecy with extra-biblical assertions".This passage speaks of locusts emerging from a smoky abyss. Anglo-American scholars in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries almost universally believed that this passage referred to the rise of Islam in the early seventh century.
So sure some Protestants were all captivated by 'locust thinking' as extra-biblical assertions. They went way beyond the text.
