What a weirdly specific prophetic message from Crowley. Anyone who knows anything about an "aeon" of children immediately thinks of the line from the Timaeus[1].
> O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are but children.
What's even more frustrating is that in the Timaeus, an Egyptian priest utters that line and that Crowley, channeling Aiwass ostensibly an Egyptian diety, really should have had this all sorted a bit more because it makes Crowley look like he's completely unaware of this fact.
Either way, given the rise and fall of Hellenism[2] in no way should a prophecy of an aeon of the child exclude that very elephant in the room.

2. Debatable whether anyone wants to argue our modern culture is a continuation or descendant of the Hellenism of antiquity.
