Did any one see Star Trek by J.J. Abrams? I think he likes black holes as a means to travel through time. Jughead, combined with the incident of the pocket magnetic leakage, caused a black hole (see the real Faraday's work...he theorizes this would occur with energy and magnetic forces) which will lead those in close proximity (dying Juliet and Sayid, Jack, Kate, Hurley) to the explosion (actually an implosion like the hatch did) back to 2007 via the black hole (as in Star Trek, the hole will immediately dissolve into nothing and thus not destroy our favorite island). So, the cavalry is coming. The same one Jacob alluded to to Locke.
Locke is definitely the smoke monster/the dark clothed guy from the opening scene (I also call him Esau). So my poor beloved actual Locke is dead. So, just like Dead is Dead...Whatever Happened Happened. These guys stayed true to their word. And Jack's purpose WAS to explode the bomb, only he had the reasoning wrong. This entire show has been about a battle between Esau (fate will reign and humans are inherently evil) and Jacob (freewill will matters and humans are good). So lines are being drawn and Esau and his people will fight Jacob's people, including once again bad ass Jack.
Side note: Sometime in the past, Jacob (or the island or something else) cursed Esau to never take human form again for himself. Thus he can't help Locke up near the donkey wheel. Jacob banished the human form side of Esau to his (Jacob's) cabin and encircled it with the ash from the foot palace he was living in. Esau, roaming now as only a smoke monster who can influence people as a fake human but not force them to do anything, is attempting to free the human form side of his nature so he can look like himself again. (Go back and look at the man we see a glimpse of in the cabin...he looks like a long haired Esau, not Jacob.) So, Jack's dad Christian (actually the smoke monster...hence the smoke alarm that goes off in the off-island scene when Jack sees him at the hospital) lures Claire away from her baby (I think the future leader of the island if raised by Claire) back to his cabin to sit in perpetual bliss and not worry about her duty to raise Aaron. On the way into! the cabin, Esau/Christian asks his little "daughter" to take her foot and wipe away some ash, thus breaking the human-form-binding-spirit circle. After this period (2007 would be well after), Esau can touch people because he is fully himself (although he chooses to be Locke to manipulate everyone in the longest con of all time). Ben, Locke, Alpert and everyone else are just pawns. No one is actually special, hence Jacob responding to Ben "What about you?".
In the end freewill/good will reign as Jack, etc. take up Jacob/Locke/Alpert's charge and fight the oncoming war Widmore promised was coming. But don't be surprised if the opening scene of 2010 is in LAX Airport. Heck, Jack may even get off the plane. But it will just be a flashback. Then they will cut to Jack, etc. on the island with their eyes closed grimacing. They will open their eyes (probably at night...the same night we saw Jacob killed) and find themselves back on the island. Hurley will say, "Where are we dude?" and the it will cut to LOST. For the most part of this first new episode or even into the next, Jack will feel he failed and will be sad with Sayid/Juliet die. But then he will realize his even greater purpose of proving Jacob true and Esau wrong. This may even entail surrender instead of fighting, since Jacob is good and peaceful. Let's find out!
