They are coming….
I’m not sure if this has been touched on already but i was thinking that when jacob says ”they are coming” maybe he means Ilana and her team. I believe that they are jacobs ‘allies’ whom have vast knowledge of the island already.We know Jacob visited her in hospital to ask for her help, making it obvious she is on his side,but why?How does she know jacob?Bram also claims to be is on the side who is ‘gonna win’,possibly meaning in reference to jacob vs ‘fake locke’.
Overall i believe that Ilana,Bram and the rest of the group are part

Yeah, my idea of them is pretty much what you’re saying, although I don’t think they are the original others, perhaps they are their children or something. They are some sort of religious cult type thing, that pretty much happens to be right. They could be a group made up by one of the previous leaders, who seem to be banished from the island after they stop being leaders, or just someone else in the others’ group who left the island and taught about it. They seem to only have word of mouth knowledge about the island, not first hand.
I just wrote a theory about this that is being “reviewed” because I am a brand new user… but basically I think that the people who are coming are Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, Hurley, Jin… my post goes into more detail, backing up the theory etc, so when it comes up please read and respond.
yes, i also agree. i`m very looking forward 2 nxt season, hopefully they`l be explained a little bit more. i think though that they do thier work off the island and only came 2 the island as jacob asked for thier help? eko rocks
