The answer depends on intent in framing the question; the two interpretations and thus two respective answers are:
"A.D." the acronym stands for the Latin "ano-domini" whose english translation would be "In the year of our Lord". The reference stems, of course, from the christian calendar which denotes time as "Before Christ" increasing as years proceed backwards, ending in year 0 wherein Jesus is generally believed to have been born. A.D., as all know, proceeds from there increasing as years progress.
The other interpretation could have been AD or ad, as in ad aeturnum (to eternity, ad vitam aeturnum (to life eternal), ad infinitum (to infinity/without end).
