Lost - Was Jack and Hurley's mission to the lighthouse symbolic?

Is this a symbol of when you are on your deathbed of "going towards the light"?

A notable quote exchange was...Jack: "How come we've been here all this time and have never seen this?" Hurley: "Cause we were never looking for it".

But what would you make out of Jack walking towards the light and destroying it? Is this foreshadowing of things to come?

Update:

Also referring to Kate...Hurley: "She can't come. She wasn't on the invite."

    It was more of an Alice In Wonderland / Through the Looking Glass moment. This was Episode 5 and Season 1 Episode 5 was "White Rabbit." In "White Rabbit" Jack chases his father's image to the caves and finds the empty coffin. Every episode this season has a scene with a character staring into a mirror. In this episode Jack picks up the rabbit to find the key to his ex-wife's house.
