It seems that everyone has been thinking the incident has in fact been the explosion cause by Jack and company, which means they all come to the island like they always have. I don't think this is the case. I think they have stopped the incident.
The real struggle is between Jacob and this other unknown entity. The unknown entity has been manipulating the survivors since season 1 as smokey. He's been going up to people and judging them, deciding if they can be helpful in his plan to find a loophole. Everything that has happened up to this point has all been a brilliantly crafted move by this unknown dark man to finally kill Jacob.
But why would Jacob want the survivors (He visited Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Hurley, Jin) to go back to the island to cause the incident. This will cause them to get to the island on Flight 815, which will allow the dark man to find the loophole. I think that Jacob sending Jack and company back in time was his chess move.
By ending the incident, this means 815 never arrives at the island, which means that the dark unknown man never has the ability to find the loophole. You noticed that the scene where Jacob is killed happens before Juliet explodes the bomb. Sure, the unknown man was able to kill Jacob, but Jacob gets the last laugh by changing the past, which negates pretty much everything we have seen.
