As you might have guessed...

Locke is Jacob.

Remember when Ben couldn't believe Locke could see Jacob?



...then, i propose, he goes and talks to Jacob at which time (which we haven't seen yet), Jacob says that it's because LOCKE is HIM. This pisses Ben off because now he sees the man behind the curtain. Suddenly Jacob isn't so special anymore. He lashes out at Locke for the rest of the season and finally tries to murder him.

This, of course, is why Jacob tells Locke: "Help me." And this is why Jacob prevents Locke from repeating what he heard in the cabin. When Locke FINALLY reveals it Ben shoots him - at first not believing that this is really what Jacob said - then finally (after beginning to believe), shooting Locke and leaving him for dead (testing the theory).



...but before that, they are in the one station and Locke's father is there. Ben presents him to Locke and Locke asks "why did you bring him here." Ben says, "Because you told me to John?" or "You brought him here" or something similar; feigning curiosity. Nothing more on THAT matter is said. i'll have to go back and check to see when this occurred, before or after the leaving for dead... i'm guessing before which them raises some issues, but i'm still ironing it out.

In any event, Locke is Jacob. This is why he takes on Christian Shepherd's form; because Jack gives Lock Shepherd's shoes to "trick" the Island into "seeing" the corpse AS Shepherd rather than as Locke. This "fuses" the image of the two and projects Locke's ghost as Christian Shepherd who then appears all over the place, to Claire, to Michael (helping save the Island), and of course to Locke himself at the "Dharma Wheel."



THE END.

Maybe you should admit it Micah. Admit it and tell them all that you work for Jacob. I always knew it.
