Jesus isn’t Starborn he was literally part of the White God, that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a Starborn involved, if they are Wizards who are long lived and cheat.

idk, he was literally born under a star. I'd think it fair to say if TWG planned his life out, he planned his birth to be most opportune.
Starborn seems to be 'wizards business' per River Shoulders.

Sure. It's more that I think Nemesis is operating on a far smaller scale than the Heaven vs. Hell conflict.
Nemesis is probably more on the level of the Walkers or below, agents of the Outside fighting a war against the defenders of the universe led by Mab - but that is I think a conflict for the fate of one particular universe.
The Angels/Fallen and Archangels/Lucifer are working across the multiverse spectrum of realities (though the Denarians in the coins might be limited to just one universe - I don't know how that works)

I'm not convinced. I've always taken it as universes get destroyed because the Outsider army breaches the Gates and Team Heaven's only option is to destroy that universe to prevent something worse, like a foothold from which they could bridge from the Inside of one universe to the next much like is going to happen in Mirror, Mirror.

this is my interpretation as well, and since Uriel basically insures free will, insures choice, he's basically the gardener of the life tree to me, with each reality spun off as another branch while he prunes those that go dead.

Ok so I've spotted a huge flaw in this cycle being 666 years... Woj is Rashid was Harry the last cycle... But Rashid is waaay older than that. Mostly due to staying in the NN, he's the oldest council member, maybe even technically the oldest human alive. How can the cycle be 666 if Rashid is at least older than the Mad Arab?
Also looking up astrological cycles I found "At one degree per 66 years, one decan of a zodiacal sign (i.e. 10 degrees) is precessed in a period of 666 years - a value made famous in the Book of Revelation as the Number of the Beast" so perhaps it's just a degree of a cycle and not the cycle itself?
