This has probably been mentioned a thousand times some place or another but i just wanted to have my input brought into light.
This theory holds tight resemblence to the stories of the hebrew bible.
Jacob and Esau (AJ, Darky, Smokey, Black Shirt Man... call him what you will) are twin brothers, sons of isaac (more later). one is good (Jacob) one is bad (Esau). Each have been fighting each other since they were in their mothers womb, and were sworn to fight each other for the rest of their lives: when one fell, the other would rise, and vice versa.
Esau was seen to be a hunter "a man of the field" (smokey is pretty much the hunter on the island) whilst jacob was viewed as a dweller and a simple man.
Now onto Isaac, cast your minds back to season 2 and the episode S.O.S. Rose and bernard in Australia goto see a healer for roses cancer, his name was isaac. Now although i believe his character not to play a vital role in the show i think its important that it is recognised as a reference to the hebrew bible theme. Isaac basically told rose that this island (Auz) didnt have enough magnetic power for her healing and would need to find somewhere stronger (my money is on he knew, but i digest)
Also jacob and esau died at the age of 147
2007-147=1860 (black rock time?)
"he gets marched up into here as if he was moses" Ben speaking about Locke to Jacob. this got me thinking about FLocke/Lockes character
Similaritys between locke and moses:
- Fostered
- both died before reaching their destination island/ israel
- Leader of men
I know this is really disjointed but it just seems to have a strong connection to the show.
For Season 6 anyway:
- Jack = new jacob
- jack vs locke (mirror of season 1)
- aaron to turn out to be the end of the loop "blaanace to the force" of the island after jack n locke die.
