Well as saw in the final scene of the Season 5 Finale, after Ben stabs Jacob numerous times, his body is rolled into the fire pit, and is engulfed by flames.
The mythical phoenix is a bird capable of rebirth. When it is about to die, it spontaneously catch a flame and would be reborn in its ashes.
Here is where it may be a bit stretching. Around Jacobs cabin would be ashes, the ashes he could be reborn out of? This is the clue, if the ashes are present, Jacob should be present? I remember I think in one episode they said the ashes was result of the volcanoes, but if they are going with whole mythology thing it could just fit as there is an Egyptian counterpart of the Phoenix in their mythology.
