When asked "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" Richard responded with something along the lines of, "He who will save us all."
On of the final scenes of the Indecent revealed John Locke's corpse literally lying in the shadow of the statue.
John Locke is "he who will save us all"
A common theory, which is almost becoming general understanding, is that the Locke that "resurrected" is only a replication, the personification of Esau or Smokey (or both). I will not delve much into this theory because it has been covered many times.
It is very significant that Esau did not assume Locke's actual body, but only replicated it. This leaves a corpse that save poor writing, cannot just be left alone. Jacob is "dead" but it is safe to assume his role is not finished, really it has just begun. He will continue to impact season 6 by assuming the actual body of Locke, something Esau could not do. This is why he seemed so willing to accept death, because he knew would have a means of continuing.
"One is light, one is dark." With this statement Locke was describing himself. In season 6 we will see two John Locke's. One the replication, the embodiment of Esau, and the other the real John Locke and personification of Jacob. This idea of Locke representing, or embodying both sides was shown in Claire's dream. Locke is seen with one black eye and a white eye, symbolizing the duality that would be part of his future persona. In the season finale, as Locke and Ben enter the statue, the lighting creates a similar effect with his eyes. One light and one dark. He looks like this for about 10 seconds as the stand int he entrance of the statue. The two images can be seen in the links below:

John Locke lies in the shadow of the statue. This Locke will be Jacob, he who will save us all.
