I think that evil spirits do inspire people who are in rebellion against God to name certain things with a word like Chernobyl which does translate as wormwood because these spirits want to bring confusion and muddy the waters to bring about a false fulfillment of Prophecy to aid the coming anti-christ in the great end times deception.. I believe that deception will be centered on the claim that the anti-christ will claim that he is the promised messiah for the Jews and the returned messiah of the Christians.. And he will deceive many with lying signs and wonders.. And he will demand to be worshiped as God on earth.. I believe the anti-christ be be a great leader who shall fight and win a world war and this will also play a part in the deception because people will be lead to believe that this war was the battle of Armageddon..
Ephesians 2 KJV
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
2 Thessalonians 2 KJV
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
