Since Final Fantasy VII has such strong ties to religion I always understood the "Advent" as meaning the second coming of Sephiroth. In Christianity the word advent is used to refer to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I think it's a fairly logical assumption that "Advent" is being used in that sense.
As for "Children", I can't decide what to make of it. You can view it in a religious sense that Sephiroth (and his second coming) was borderline godlike which would make all victims of geostigma his "children". However, it's also very possible that "Children" is just that. Children. The movie follows Denzel around quite a bit, and at one point dozens of children are gathered up in an attempt to locate Jenova. I think the strong undertones of the FFVII universe point to "Children" meaning the former.
If anyone knows of any official statements about this from Squeenix, please share.
