    He printed baptismal certificates and other types of religious sheets so could be a standalone.

    Reading Fraktur is difficult, even more so if you don't know the language.
    My attempt at a correct transliteration and translation:

    Grosse Niederlage und Schlacht aller Nationen so wieder Jerusalem streiten.
    Great defeat and massacre of all nations so fight against Jerusalem.

    Der Engel in der Sonne so den Bögeln rufet.
    The angel in the sun calls the bows.(?)

    Sturz des falschen Propheten.
    Fall of the False Prophet. (IM and you got that one right;))

    Sturz des Drachen in den Abgrund.
    Fall of the dragon into the abyss.

    Probably literally correct, with 'bows' meaning archers/bowmen.
