Jacob!

We finally get to meet this mysterious Lost character in another great season finale! The opening scene alone was very intriguing! We see Jacob talking to a man in a black shirt.

Could these two characters at odds with one another in some way be Jacob and Esau from the Bible? After reading a few things I am inclined to believe this is a good possibility.

In Genesis 27, Jacob steals the family blessing away from the older Esau by tricking their father Isaac.

“Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, "The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob."

In the opening scene the man in the black shirt says to Jacob “do you have any idea how badly I want to kill you?” Jacob cooly replies, “yes.”

Also, if you read in Genesis 25:23 God says to Isaac’s wife speaking of Jacob and Esau:

"Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger."

Jacob of the Bible relates to the Egyptian theme in that Jacob eventually ends up in Egypt with his son Joseph as a high ranking Egyptian official.

Whether these characters are Jacob and Esau or not, they definitely represent the two fronts that will no doubt play a major part in the final season of Lost. I can’t wait!
