BCE stands for  Before the common era . BC means  Before Christ,  or  Before the Messiah.  Both measure the number of years before the approximate birthday of Yeshua/Jesus. Designation of a year in BC and BCE also have identical values. Many people assume that Yeshua/Jesus was born at the end of 1 BCE.
Question: What is the meaning of BC and AD (B.C. and A.D.)? Answer: It is commonly thought that B.C. stands for âbefore Christâ and A.D. stands for âafter death.â This is only half correct. How could the year 1 B.C. have been âbefore Christâ and A.D. 1 been âafter deathâ? B.C. does stand for âbefore Christ.â A.D. actually stands for the Latin phrase anno domini, which means âin the year of our Lord.â 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 Jesusâ death.
