Lost: Is John Locke's character becoming Christlike?

No question, the death of Jeremy Bentham is being played up as a big deal on Lost especially after last night's episode.

The power of Locke's last scene is so deep, perhaps because he is being led by "Christian" of all people One that is spirit like and can't help him up. The emotion that overwhelms him when Christian says this is what we call a sacrifice and is he ready. With all his conviction and belief he says he is. All this to save the survivors on the island. In extreme pain like Christ himself he starts his journey. I'm interested in knowing how his death scene will parallel Christ's death if at all.

Other notable things. I think since we haven't really scene Jacob clearly, just as you can't see God, he is more like the holy spirit version of command on the island. Also what's in a name. Jeremy Bentham and John Locke couldn't be any more contrasting names. John Locke, who the writers have continually linked to in titles like Man of Science, Man of Faith and Tabula Rasa, and other philosophers such as Hume, Rousseau, was a man believing in philosophy contrary to Christian ideas. Now, his future alias as Jeremy Bentham...Jeremy deriving from Jeremiah which derives from Yahweh which is the name of God, and Bentham somewhat sounding like Bethlehem and bent being a root for bentgrass maybe signifying nature or the island while ham meaning homestead kinda altogether says Jacob wants to bring everyone home just like God does. We've all seen Locke's transformation from his scenes of the past not believing in himself at all, nor believing in much good, to his sometimes all powerful belief in himself and the island and sometimes worrisome helplessness he experiences on the island. Now he is ready to lead and save everyone under a different name, almost like his turning the wheel was his Baptism.

What takes this even further is there is more than likely a significant rebirth about to happen, although we don't know how it will play out. Right now in the future, Locke is laying dead in a van marked with Canton-Rainier, an acronym for "reincarnation". Eloise Hawking tells Ben he only has 72 hours to gather up the Oceanic 6, significant because that is exactly 3 days paralleling the 3 days it took for Christ to rise from dead.

It's all too eerie and all to interesting at the same time. Can't wait for the episode titled "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham". It should be a really deep or revealing episode to say the least.
