Yes. You are right. I was listening to the CD in my car when I heard this passage and checked it out in the book. If only I had read/listened a little further, I would have come across the following:

"In the distance reared a single mountain, its peak broken adn split, but this mountain brought no fear or despair. It was just a mountain, though oddly out of place there, with on other in sight.

A broad river flowed by the mountain, and on an island in the middle of that river was a city..."(Tar Valon)"

I am still of the mind though that we will see a more complete picture of RJ's foreshadowing emerge earlier in the books once the series is finished. Let's hope that is soon!
