We all know there's a little bit of forshadowing in Jordan's books. I think I ran across some in LoC. Theodrin is trying to help Nynaeve break her block, and Nynaeve thinks how she can no more breath under water than she can surrender. Which is how her block is broken. Anyhow, I mention that for this reason: earlier in the same book Elayne thinks how Nynaeve will not be satisfied until she heals someone three days dead. Rand is very symbolic of Christ, and three days was the length to the ressurrection. I Rand going to die only to be raised by Nynaeve?
