also, that dude is the smoke monster. For sure i think.

Which dude? Jacob's "friend" from the very beginning of the episode? Is the monster taking Locke's form at the end as well? It seemed to take Alex's form when confronting Ben, so it seems plausible that it could take Locke's form as well. I guess the questions then would be why does the monster need to take Locke's form? Why does it need Ben to kill Jacob? How did the guy turn into the smoke monster (or vice versa) to begin with? And what's the "loophole" that he found?
That does seem to make some sense though.
And on a slightly separate note, after Jacob is stabbed by Ben, Jacob says "They're coming". Who is he referring to?

Also, this proves that Locke isn't special, and that it is actually Jack that will lead the island. They always talked about him having a destiny.

I love this theory, mainly because I'd rather see Jack be the hero than Locke. Locke has turned into this kind of bad guy at the end of this season. So Locke's only purpose was, through his death, to get the rest of the O6 back to the island -- which really had very little to do with any of them going back, in retrospect. Of course, if Locke isn't really special at all, it kind of negates most of what happened in previous seasons. The others all think Locke is special and their destined leader. Why would they think that, if someone (Jacob) didn't already tell them that?
