Intended from the beginning to help the White Tower (Whitecloaks), which has women in it he cares so much about. They will convince him not to kill Rand and when he meets Rand the fact that they are brothers will come up, motivating Rand since he has a brother, and being a crucial factor in the LB aside from Whitecloak aid.

Although I do think the power will be destroyed or given up, I believe the "light of the world" refers to Mat giving up the worlds innocence and purity to create gunpowder and start a scientific and industrial revolution similar to our own.

Still think it's very clear that the Tower will rescue our hero and his "peeps" to make up for their failure to arrive in time to save the nation's first destruction.

Moridin has unlocked memories of all his past lives.

I Predict Mat will gain the knowledge he requires to win the last battle, but the payment the Aelfinn & Eelfinn demand is the sacrifice of one of Mat's eyes.

I predict that Mat will give up an eye, (He see's the world through both, so he will give up one, or half), to gain knowledge of how to win the Final Battle, and save the world from the DO.

1. Aviendha will become the "dedicated spear" when she travels through Rhuidean and discovers the Song, returning the Aiel to what they were before they broke oath, the dedicated. 2. Elayne will become the "lion sword" (already the lion, having taken the throne) when her armies successfully face the full onslaught of Demandred's armies. 3. Min will become "she sees beyond" when she discovers the truth Herid Fel had already found, that this is the Last Battle between the Dragon and the Dark One, not the last battle entirely. 4. The future is "the boat" that these three stand at the helm of as the acknowledged leaders of their respective people, the forces of light, the spears of the dragon, and the dragonsworn. They are on the same boat as their lands and people are ripped apart and must rebuild. 5. Rand will become "he who is dead, yet lives". The Dragon is an integral part of him, but will die in the Last Battle. He is the Dragon, and yet not, becausae the Dragon is dead. He is also on the boat, no longer possessing that which brought the people to him. 6. The rest is already in the process of happening... the lands have been torn apart by The Return, and the Seanchan will have a lot to say about who leads when the Last Battle is done, at the point of a sword. This is especially an issue for the Asha'man (guardians) and Aes Sedai (servants) as the former are targeted for death and the latter for the collar. 7. The path of daggers is the "edge of the blade", those heights at which the Three stand.

Atal Mishraile will turn on Mazrim Taim and help the forces of Light take the M'Hael down.

Demandred has not been seen on screen except as himself. He is in the Land of Madmen collecting Dread Lords for Tarmon Gaidon.

Noal will exchange himself and his memories to help Mat and Thom save Moiraine. Before he is left behind in the Tower of Ghenjei, he will remember something important that will help defeat the Shadow in the Last Battle, something Ishamael suppressed in his mind via compulsion or some other mind-manipulating Power trick.

In the interest of closure, we will find out that Sheriam was the killer of Sahra Covenry, the novice who escorted Min to Siuan when Min returned to the White Tower.

I predict that when Moiraine is rescued we will find out that she is stronger than before. I am of the belief that Lanfear is Cyndane and that her diminished strength is also because of this wish. I don't think their strengths were swapped because Cyndane is still too strong, but in my view Moiraine wished to be stronger and they took it from Lanfear, who I predict wished to be free and did not specify alive or with power intact.

Noal IS Jain Farstrider and has been compelled by Graendal.

Taim was tutored by Demandred, but kills Demandred out of jealousy.

Moghedien is responsible for the Fake Rand that the Prophet saw.

Verin is one of the new dread lords and her death was a ploy to get people to react in a certain way and she will be brought back by the DO for the last battle.

Moiraine's second trip through the Ter'angreal came at a much greater cost than her first. As part of the bargain, she agrees to give up her connection to the OP in exchange for her life. She will return to Rand as adviser or at the very least ally. With her channeling ability removed, and Rand matured through experience and time, perhaps Rand and Moiraine can come to some sort of non-threatening agreement.

She is dead.

Demandred is with his army right now playing Snakes and Foxes.

Mat will either determine which eye the Aelfinn/Eelfinn see his experiences through and remove it OR he will go to the Tower of Ghenjei blindfolded to hide his coming. Also he will use Aludra's firesticks/strikers to blind them.
