I read somewhere that people thought Jacob was complete fiction made up by Richard to have the Others do his bidding. John's intention to "kill" Jacob is to take all the Others with him on the trek to find him to prove to them he does not exist, that they have been scammed. This way they can see for themselves. It would be "killing" the myth of Jacob. I don't see how that's possible since we've all already seen that Jacob does exist as we saw him drenched in darkness in the cabin and even heard his voice. I guess the people who are thinking this missed that episode, I'm thinking it was Cabin Fever.
Hell, perhaps it's a mixture of the two. Maybe Jacob's just a regular dude trapped between real/imaginary space and time that John must help out. By doing this in front of all the Others he is showing them Jacob is just a man, not a god and is killing the myth of Jacob while helping Jacob the man free himself.
either way, should be interesting. The only time we ever saw Jacob was in the cabin with Ben and John wasn't it? After that Christian became his representative full time.
...
I don't think Jacob is just something made up by Alpert, like you said, we've already seen him (The Man Behind the Curtain BTW), and we will definitely see "him" and his time-traveling ass next week.
While it was surprising to hear John say that, I wouldn't believe him right away. What if Locke it's pulling a "Ben" on Ben? Why would he tell Ben, the most treacherous person he knows, his plans?
if what John said is indeed true, then he must know Ben will no longer be an obstacle.
Or maybe John still doesn't believe there's a Jacob, and he wants to "kill" him by showing he doesn't exist
I wonder though, why would Smokey tell Ben to leave Locke alone? if john is planning on killing Jacob?

Just watching the promo for "The Incident"Jack is in an assault on the Village, opening fire with a hand gun.
Now together with Richard Alpert claiming that he watched Jack Kate and Hurley die with Jinn, Im really starting think that the scene I mentioned earlier on in the year is coming round.
(The one where Ben and Annie see what looked like Sawyer and Kate running past the School room when the attack on the village was on.)

Except that Ben is currently with the others and not at Dharma Village.
Exactly
that scene with Ben and Annie happens around the time Ben arrives at the island, before he meets Richard... so, before Jack travels to 77, and before he gets shot...and he is currently not with the Dharma Initiative...
I find it funny that Richard help John be were he is now, become the leader, just because he was the chosen one.... all because it was John himself who told him so... 😄
He went to see John be born, because Locke said so, he gives him those tests, he helps him kill his father, he tells him he has to die to bring them back... all because of John, not Jacob, not the Island
Maybe Richard remembers the losties dying (though I doubt he meets Jin) when the Incident happens because it is at this time when the Losties jump back to the current Timeline (after the bang, he doesn't see them anymore). Maybe Sawyer, Juliet and Kate don't have to get off the sub, since they were the ones to make the "jump" maybe they'll jump back inside the sub (kinda like they did on the plane)
One thing's for sure though, things will end with a bang (probably Jughead's bang) and it will be uncertain who dies and who lives...
... and
Spoiler:
Aaron and Ji-Yeon
return 😉
DO NOT READ THE SPOILER above, it might be massive
