I was watching an old episode last night. The one with Rose & Bernard's backstory. Where Bernard took Rose to the faith healer to cure her cancer. The faith healer's name was Isaac. Issac of Uluru. And I thought 'That's a biblical name, and it sounds familar. It has some connection with Jacob.', and it got me curious.

So I started looking stuff up and found out about the relationship between Isaac and Jacob in the Bible. Isaac was Jacob's father. Jacob's father! I began to wonder if there was a connection between Jacob in the cabin and Isaac (the healer who talks about how certain places on Earth have special powers).

I remember the episode "The Man Behind The Curtain". When I watched it the very first time, and Jacob started throwing stuff around his cabin (when Ben and Locke were there), I remember Ben yelling at Jacob saying things like "That's Enough" and "You had enough fun" and such. Even at the time, it seemed to me that Ben was talking to Jacob as though he were a child. Maybe a child with powers, but a child never the less.

Could there be a connection? What do you think?
