What caused the pocket of electromagnetism was probably a meteorite landing on the island a long long time ago. Since then all the people who come to the island attributes the powers that come from it as the powers of a “god”. Most likely, as people have done in the past, anything people can’t explain in nature they attribute it to the “gods” doing it, so probably some group of people wrote the “Book of Laws” and people like the Egyptians, Jacob, Esau, and The Others follow the book like people follow any religion. That’s why Esau needed to find a way around one of the laws = loophole.

Also, when Ben said “He changed the rules” about Kemmy killing Alex, I think it’s just another loophole.

Has anyone thought that Jacob could actually be the bad guy? He had no answer for Ben when he questioned Jacob at the end before he stabbed him.

The statue is Taweret, it was confirmed by Lindelof and co.

I have one interesting point, Miles is able to feel what energy is left by a dead person (Possibly a power associated with Esau) and Hurley can converse with past loved ones (Perhaps a power associated with Jacob), something tells me these two will end up on opposite sides

Whilst the body of the statue looks like a males I am still convinced that it is the Goddess Taweret. Same face, same head-dress, 4 toes etc.

I guess we’ll find out for certain at some point.

Josh, The Statue’s head/face looks far more like Taweret than Sobek.

Taweret also had close ties to Apep (possibly the smoke monster) and Set

Basically, it’s the eternal fight between good and evil. Isn’t the end of that the apocalypse/judgment day?

one more… the open eye they showed at the end for next season. if you look at it closely, it’s definitely not the normal Jack eye. i think it’s Kate’s eye. she was originally intended to be the leader of the others in the pilot episode and Jack was to die, however the writers made a last-minute change. i think her eye in addition to the LOST title (image in this post, where the letter and background color is inverted) is a direct message that next season will be a do-over of many events but with the polar opposite outcome.

another thought… when Jacob touched the survivors in the past, he was marking them for safety against Black Smokey and general doom on the island. notice, he wasn’t in Juliette’s flashback and she died….

The smoke monster taking form of dead people makes sense, and remember Mr. Echo building the church? Shortly after that, the smoke monster killed him. He IS satan, and thus cannot stand church or anything holy.

walt was not an apparition. he is special and has certain abilities. Black Smokey and White Smokey (Jacob) are able to take on the forms of those who have died on the island. they are dueling entities. Black Smokey is evil, trying to prove that men are inherently evil and at war. White Smokey (Jacob) is trying to prove that mankind is good. when he said “they are coming”, it was a shove in Black Smokey’s face saying “i told you so…. they know right from wrong and can fix their mistakes”…. i could go on about what this means forever.

i think the Oceanic 6 (and maybe some others) may be meant to be on the island all along except via Ajira 316 instead of Oceanic 815. i believe this is how next season will begin.

also, remember season one when Locke “saw” the smoke monster. we, as the audience, did not see it. he said it was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. i think that means he saw the white smoke monster (Jacob) and not the black one we have seen at other times….. it all fits with the ultimate good vs. evil theme the show has been pushing from the pilot episode.
