@vulture, it's not really that different, the original aeons were always assigned a God or a sign for it to have represented, we're living in the age of Horus right now for instance.
In the second coming it's referring to the Antichrist as our coming Aeon, the dark beast slouching its way to bethlehem. Add in the mirror and the ever present gyre and that implies Christ is our Aeon.
Idk, but impact is still impact, Uriel is multidimensional and still gives a crap about a single line of fate because he knows others spread forward from it.

Where do you get that from? I've heard of astrological ages being defined by zodiac constellations (Pisces, Aquarius) but Horus is not a constellation.

And there is a major difference. 'Aeon' originally means 'age', the religious connotations in mainstream Christianity derive from the idea of the Ages of the World (Christ started the current Age, and the Second Coming/End of Days will bring in the final and eternal Age).

The Gnostic use of Aeon is for beings which are emanations or portions of capital-G God yet themselves divine, and belong to the true divine reality, as opposed to Archons who are kind of like pseudo-angelic overseers of the flawed material reality (created by the Demiurge who is sort of a "fake God" and an Aeon gone wrong, either evil or deluded depending on the version).
The Gnostic cosmology isn't compatible with the DV one, since there is really no room for Fallen in the Christian sense in the Gnostic worldview, and they clearly exist in the DV.

Yeah, it's not that the multi-universe beings wouldn't care, it's that if Mother Summer was multi-universe she wouldn't use phrases like "everything ends" because one universe wouldn't be "everything" to her.
