It seems as though Miss Avalon might have quite the theory here. I had originally speculated the Lost folks were all dead and in some kind of whacked-out purgatory. But after I got this from an excited Angelique (before I even  saw the season finale I might add) early Thursday morning, I began to think she might be a bit slightly more un-Lost than myself.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately you need to read the story of Jacob’s Ladder first and then compare to Angelique’s explanation below. 

The guy who said, “Do you know how much I want to kill you?”, will end up being his brother Esau. That brother has taken over John Locke’s body to manipulate Ben into killing Jacob in the temple.

I predict that the last episode will end with someone (Echo?) having a dream (like Jacob did).. The whole series will be one guy’s dream where good and evil fought it out at the gateway between heaven and earth.

I always remembered the Jacob’s ladder story was about this good guy Jacob “wrestling with his angels on a beach!!!!” 

So is she right? With the way Lost plots come and go, I don’t think I’m ready to put any money on it.
