As King David's great great grandmother, Ruth was very very 'BC', living over a thousand years before Jesus' birth. In his Study Bible John MacArthur dates it in the time of the Judges ca. 1370 to 1041BC.
BC = Before (the birth of) Christ. Consequently the New Testament was written later (= AD), but the Old Testament hundreds of years earlier (= BC).
Some significant events associated with dates in the Bible include the creation of the world (4004 BC), the birth of Jesus Christ (around 4 BC), the crucifixion of Jesus (around 30 AD), and the Pentecost event (around 33 AD).
There's proof that a sophisticated civilization existed prior to 4000 BC....actually more like 12000 BC! Google Göbekli Tepe.
The last date of BC was 1 BC, then the first date of AD was 1 AD, there was no zero.
Okay Will AD is older than BC because AD is very old not like BC
BC : before Christ AD : anno domino
58 years are between 30 BC and AD 30. The first thing you need to remember is that there is no year 0; the year before AD 1 is 1 BC. So the years between 30 BC and AD 30 are... 29 BC, 28 BC, 27 BC, ..., 2 BC, 1 BC, AD1, AD 2, ..., AD 27, AD 28, AD 29 29 BC through 1 BC is 29 years, and AD 1 through AD 29 is 29 years. 29 years + 29 years = 58 years
It isn't a question of closer to ad or bc, it IS bc. 3000bc would be -3000ad.
Nothing. There was no time period between BC and AD. 1 BC was followed by 1 AD. There was no year zero or any gap between BC and AD.
bc comes first because bc stands for before christ
Herod Antipas (before 20 BC - after 39 AD) was the son of Herod the Great, and was ruler of Galilee and Perea from 4 BC to 39 AD. He is best known for his role in the deaths of Jesus and John the Baptist.
BC is before AD (Before Christ) (After Death)
