B.C.E.
means Before the Common Era.
Dates of the Jewish calendar
are designated AM (Latin anno mundi, "the year of the world") and BCE.
Wisely, many don't say B.C. anymore which meant Before Christ, because
He's eternal. I guess they maybe meant it to be, 'before Emmanuel', the
one who fully became the Christ after Emmanuel's death
and resurrection; B.C.E. is now used. They
could have said BE, Before Emmanuel, the physical person who was Christ
in the flesh. See also A.D.
