Well, at least now it becomes evident why the Oceanic six need to return to the Island to save the other survivors. They represent the “constant” for the remainder of the survivors, much in the same way Penny was Desmond’s constant. They need to return so that the rest of the people in the island dont remain in continuous time shift!

Hey, Ericka! I had EXACTLY that thought as soon as Ben said “He changed the rules.” I just went “WHOA! Did someone say God and Lucifer?” Your Jacob connection (yay, finally – I know it’s a Biblical name but I didn’t know the meaning behind it) fits in well. I just got the sense that Ben was symbolic of God and Charles of Lucifer. I kinda hope that Ben IS God and Charles IS Lucifer because that would be so. much. fun. But yeah, it makes a lot of sense. With so many parallels. Like Alex’s execution by a cruel human, by virtue of his corruptable humanity, and there was something about Ben’s violent reaction that made me think of something Biblical… God wreaking vengeance… but that can’t be right, Jesus was the sacrificial lamb? Hm.

Anyway, I was glad to see it wasn’t just me thinking that!

Lots of thought put into the theory and very interesting and it all makes perfect sense! I also had a theory ( auctually a Hypothesis ) early on in the series that the survivors were in Perdition. I gave up on that as it was auctually less than a hypothesis as is also yours. I admire the effort though.

Hi Ericka, Interesting theory! I just looked up the story of Jacob’s ladder in the Bible and it doesn’t say anything about being worthy or ascending to heaven but God does promise to give Jacob and his descendants the promised land (Israel, or in this case the Island?) and also promised that all nations of the earth would be blessed through Jacob. Jacob did have a son named Benjamin but this was his youngest and was the second son of his favorite wife Rachael who died in childbirth just like Ben’s mom Emily on Lost. Jacob did not have a son named John but John the Baptist did descend from Levi, Jacob’s third son. I don’t know if that last tidbit means anything. It might just be a stretch to try and link John the Baptist with John Locke. The writers may never have intended that.

my thoughts about changing the rules are the relationship between God and the Devil, there has always been a biblical understanding between them. “Jacob” or Jacobs ladder was built as the link between heaven and earth, and those who were worthy or (the names picked) ascended into Heaven. Jacobs children were often called the children of God, the oldest of two are named Ben and John. So far those are the only two able to communicate with Jacob on the island. This is why Widmore is searching for the island, Lucifer looked for a way to get back into Heaven, after being kicked out. just a thought, let me know what you think! :)

A new question that was raised last night in regard to this theory is if the time machine was created in 1960 and one can only travel back to 1960, how did Richard Alpert appear when Locke was an infant if he was born in 1956?

P.S. This is a fantastic theory and I really enjoyed reading it!

2. There is a time differential between the island and the rest of the world. What has seemed like months on the island has actually only been a week or two in the rest of the world. I have no idea what would cause this, …

I think that when Des turned the fail safe key, it “stopped” time on the island. It is no longer keeping up with the outside world.

I need to make a correction to my previous post that said Jack and Kate’s period of domestic bliss was happening at the same as they were on the island. Jack and Kate are living in domestic bliss around 2007, after they leave the island. Sorry for the mistake.
