This is a word with different possible opposites.... either the past or present could be used. The timeline opposite is the past, but some uses compare present conditions with future conditions (e.g. a future President vs. the current one).

The adjective opposite can be previous, historical, or former, as these all describe locations earlier rather than later in time (e.g. his futureoccupation).
