I used to think that, but now I think Jacob was just a guy who developed such a strong link to the island that he is intertwined with it.
He may have been one of the Others or from D.I., or maybe (and this is some in-th-moment theorizing) Jacob is a historical figure that we just haven't been told about but that everyone on the island has heard of.
Like Moses for the Island, thats what I think Jacob is. Whether people are alive or not seems to have very little bearing on their ability to communicate.
Hey Trismog, you may be on to somehting here. Maybe that's why we see, or at least strongly hinted at, Amelia Earhart. Maybe Jacob is someone from LONG ago who disappeared... and over the years became the chosen one.
