The anti-christ is only in the Bible 4 times, all in 1& 2 John. All other connections are just speculation.
2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
(King James Bible, 1 John)
2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
(King James Bible, 1 John)
4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
(King James Bible, 1 John)
1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
(King James Bible, 2 John)
By these Biblical definitions of the anti-christ neither Bahaullah, founder of the Bahai Faith or Muhammad can be the antichrist.
From Bahai writings:
After the lapse of time the Israelites deteriorated, and became subject to the Romans and the Greeks. Then the brilliant Star of Jesus rose from the horizon upon the Israelites, brightening the world, until all sects and creeds and nations were taught the beauty of unity. There cannot be any better proof than this that Jesus was the Word of God.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Abdu'l-Baha in London, p. 42)
The Jews were expecting the appearance of the Messiah, looking forward to it with devotion of heart and soul but because they were submerged in imitations they did not believe in His Holiness Jesus Christ when he appeared. Finally they rose against Him even to the extreme of persecution and shedding His blood. Had they investigated reality they would have accepted their promised Messiah. These blind imitations and hereditary prejudices have invariably become the cause of bitterness and hatred and have filled the world with darkness and violence of war. Therefore we must seek the fundamental truth in order to extricate ourselves from such conditions and then with illumined faces find the pathway to the kingdom of God.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'i World Faith - Abdu'l-Baha Section, p. 239)

I know you are talking theoretically, but an impact with another large body capable of altering the earth's orbit and sending it towards a supermassive black hole, would more than likely be enough to end most life on Earth. If somehow we were to live up to the point of becoming trapped within a black hole's gravity field I would have to assume that the layers of Earth would begin to peel off long before the impact actually happened. Since most of us reside on the outer layer we would die from the freezing cold as the atmosphere dissipated and all light would be diverted from the surface. Just my thoughts.

As conspiracy theorists everywhere might have you believe, we're already on the time-line to "the last days".
However, as a christian, never forget the words and teachings of our lord Jesus the Christ.
1st, "Rest easy for not even I know the day judgment, for that day is known by the father alone"
2nd, you should live your life in a way that (as an old professor of mine used to say), "Whenever that day may come, I know the lord will be pleased with whatever it is I may be doing at the time of his arrival".
3rd, as our lord taught us, "He whoever has not the perception of heaven like that of a child shall never enter it's gates".
4th, Preparation does not translate to rehearsing lines and escape routes, it means developing your faith and growing into a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God. Just as Jesus did not know the time of the final coming, neither can we know what to do, what to watch for or what to say. Remember that God tests our faith in many ways, but most importantly in the small ways that may not seem as important to us. Hes not just testing our overall objectives, but our heart and soul to see what we are truly made of. Kind deeds mean nothing if they are only to people we like. Forgiving our enemy's and not seeking revenge out of anger are examples of being a true christian.
Only God and you can make your faith strong, and if you feel weak, speak to a minister, priest, Rabbi, deacon or any other "Religious Official" for council.
The main reason however you should never "rehearse" what you might say on the day of judgment is that your responses and actions need to come from your soul, as Paul warned us in Revelations "...that the Holy Spirit offered unto me...", not from your mind. As a professor's wife used to say (when she was alive), "The Good lord said turn the other cheek, he did not say be naive"
May God Bless,

i think you'll be able to tel when your a dog being pulled around on a leash... lol. well look for the biblical signs (if you believe in the bible) - he will be in control of all nations, there will be one currency, there will be a symbol to represent him that every person will have a part of. (this could be a number of different things) just keep your eyes open and read the bible. the more you learn, the more ready you will be.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal God and saviour than there is nothing anyone can do to you. You are covered in the precious blood and not even Satan himself can touch you. If the antichrist is alive and well now ( I believe he is but his time hasn't quite come yet-soon though) you will know who he is. If you believe in the rapture you will be raptured before the tribulation so you have nothing to worry about.

OK I only have a sec. to answer this...
The best thing I can tell you is...their are bad things, and bad people around you all the time...
the best advise is to live your life in the light of god...(do unto others as you would have them do unto you!!!)
live by this motto and you will be fine...just remember if it feels good in your heart it probably is good...if it feels bad in your heart it probably is... so follow the good feelings...pray daily and ask for guidance...your prayers will be answered...
God Bless....

You are too superstitious for words!
Lock yourself in your room, don't look in the closet or under the bed or the boogey man will get you.
Waste your life praying to a fiction, and believing a fiction and don't deal with the reality that this is it...this is all there is, baby.
