That makes more sense, because the foretelling states that the future is still undecided, while TG should actually be the decision. This motif of a blade can also be found in other Prophecies which clearly refer to a time before TG. Besides that, no other Prophecy does refer that clearly to a time after TG and explicitly tells that TG will be won/"done". Thus, it's simply more likely that it refers to a time before or during TG.
In my head that doesn't fit... but as I said below RAFO
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!
Will there be a 'Shadar Nor' after the Last Battle?

Nothing really suggests that it is after TG.

As said, the great battle could very well be another battle, not TG itself

It's RJ's series, so probably Lini or Mistress Anan. In a PROPER tale, it would have been...

Perhaps RJ meant for it to be Mat and Tuon (i.e. in the outriggers). *NM*

According to RJ, those outriggers are rather about the reconquest of Seanchan. *NM*

Right, but they don't only need to be about that, i.e. perhaps the DO's remnants regroup there. *NM*

Hmm. Who WILL finish the victory over the Dark One by killing Egwene? *NM*

I think the Dark One will be defeated, but the Shadow will always exist

Then why weren't they all dead the first time the Dark One was sealed?
