That maybe it referred to the CK at the end of tGS. Rand held a "sword" (the CK is a weapon) of light (people saw that light for miles and miles if I remember correctly) and he no longer has the voices in his head. He became one with LTT's voice and the other voice in there. If I'm remembering wrong please correct me, because I haven't read the book since the first read.
The prophecy says a "blade" of light, not a "sword" of light. Foretellings may be abstract, but I don't think that anyone would say an angreal in the shape of a man holding a crystal aloft would constitute a blade, no matter the metaphorical significance of it. The light that people saw from miles away was from the break in the clouds directly above him, not from the CK itself, and we are only sure that it would be seen as far away at the White Tower.
The 3 voices in his head, main/dark Rand, innocent Rand, and LTT could be 3 becoming one, but I think the fact that this moment is already spoken of in prophecy is a good indication otherwise. We don't have 2 wholly different prophecies about the same moment anywhere else in the series.
"At the end of time, when the many become one, the last storm shall gather it's angry winds to destroy a land already dying. And at it's center, the blind man shall stand upon his own grave. There he shall see again, and weep for what has been wrought."
I always say, if you must mount the gallows, give a jest to the crowd, a coin to the hangman, and make the drop with a smile on your lips. ~Birgitte
He shall hold a blade of light and the three shall be as one
