BC means Before Christ (Before the anointed one)
AD means Anno Domini (the yeaar of our Lord)
It is a Christian Date System so some people choose a more neutral term
BCE - Before Common Era
CE - Common Era
Below is a very good article to read for understanding
Hope this helps

It is Before Christ and Anno Domini--not After Death.

Some say Christ was born in 4BC. From there you count backwards 3 2 1 & then its 1 AD. So the 33 years of Christs life would be during AD. By the way if your ever trying to count numbers for prophecy remember to add 1 year because there's no year that begins with "0" . It starts with 1AD.

Before Christ, and Anno Domini [the year of our lord]. More politically correct designations are: BCE and CE, before common era and common era.
