Which ones are the antonyms of the following adverd phrases:

In the later years.=> in the earlier years

In the following years.=> in years are to be seen yet

In the coming years.=> in the past years

In the future years => in years approaching, in years coming

In the following years, In the coming years, In the future years are rather alike for me. Strictly saying it's quite ambigous to adjudicate without linking them to sentences. Where did you extract them from?
