Our current year by the Gregorian calendar, 2021 A.D. It is interesting to note that the purpose of the B.C./A.D. dating system was to make the birth of Jesus Christ the dividing point of world history. The birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Christ are the “turning points” in world history
AD stands for the Latin phrase anno domini, which means in the year of our Lord. AD signifies a life where Christ died and rose again for the forgiveness of our sins so that we may spend eternity with Him through salvation in Jesus Christ our Lord.
The terms anno Domini (AD) and before Christ (BC) (BC is Before Christ) are used to label or number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. 168 of the world’s countries use the Gregorian calendar as their sole civil calendar as of 2021. Only five countries have not adopted it.
May this find you well and happy. God Bless.
