Pretty simple.
Jacob let Ben kill him, in order to save the losties.
Obi-Wan let Vader kill him, in order to save Luke and crew.
Ben was a pawn of the man in black (Psylus from deadwood).
Vader killed Obi-Wan.
Vader was a pawn of the emperor.
By letting Ben kill him, it frees Jacob from the island (and possibly time), so that he is more able to effect the outcome he desires.
This is just like when Obi-Wan talks to Luke or appears to him after his death.
Darlton are obviously obsessed with Star Wars(some like it hoth). This would make Jacob the good guy, the last of the old guard, whoever they may be...
