Anno Domini - Latin word for The Year Of Our Lord .
Take this year for example, 2007 A.D means that it has been 2007 years after which Christ has come.
If it is 2007 B.C, it means that it is 2007 years before the coming of Christ. This means there will be 2007 years more before Christ is coming.
But anyway, the good news is Christ will come again and that's it! No more BC or AD. It will be the Judgement Day.

It is commonly thought that BC stands for "before Christ" and AD stands for "after death." This is only half correct. How could 1 B.C. have been "before Christ" and 1 A.D. been "after death"? BC does stand for "before Christ." AD actually stands for the Latin phrase "anno domini" which means "in the year of our Lord." The B.C. / A.D. dating system is not taught in the Bible. It actually was not fully implemented and accepted until several centuries after Jesus' death.
It is interesting to note that the purpose of the BC / AD dating system was to make the birth of Jesus Christ the dividing point of world history. However, when the B.C. / A.D. system was being calculated, they actually made a mistake in pinpointing the year of Jesus' birth. Scholars later discovered that Jesus was actually born in around 4-6 BC, not 0 AD.
