Well that's another series over and done with, and now my dissection.
First of all we have Jacob and his mate. Let's call him "Nemesis" for now.
It would appear that Jacob and Nemesis are not human and as such are unable to kill one another.
It looks like (and this is all just theories of course) they live alone on the island. Jacob wants to let humanity find the island, but Nemesis doesn't want them to. Nemesis believes Mankind will just come, take what they want, destroy the island, kill things and then leave.
Jacob doesn't think they will. He believes they (him and Nemesis) and mankind can live happily side by side.
Nemesis says he will find a way to kill Jacob.
Jump forward many years and Jacob is meeting some familer faces.
You will notice he touches each of them.
Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, Jack, Hurley, Locke, Sun and Jin.
Now you may remember (if you cast your mind back several years) to a so-called list from Jacob. Ben has mentioned it several times. Juliette has seen it, as did Mikhail (the eye-patch guy).
Juliette told Jack that he is not on the list, and Mikhail told Kate, Sayid and Locke they are not on the list.
So whatever this list is, it does NOT contain the people he has touched.
It could also be argued at this point that Jacob brought Locke back from the dead after the fall.
Also worthy of note is the fact Kate, Sawyer, Jack, Locke, Sun and Jin were all met before they encountered the island, but Sayid and Hurley were contacted after they left (but before they returned).
Now, we come to the big revelation of the story. Locke's body.
The discussion in the Statue place pretty much confirms that the entity that we knew as Locke is in fact Nemesis, and his "loophole" to killing Jacob is to get someone else to do it for him.
Now I want to take this further. I believe that Nemesis is in fact the Smoke Monster.
We have seen Smokey take on human form before. He did it with Echo and his brother. Smokey also appeared as Alex when Ben went on trial. Curiously, Locke appeared to vanish during the whole time Smokey was out, only re-appearing once Smokey had vanished.
I also think that Christian Shepard (Jacks Dad in case you forgot) is also the Smoke Monster.
If Jacob lives in the foot-house and NOT the cabin, then why did Christian appear in the cabin?
Think back on the series of events.
From series 4:
Locke (the real Locke) goes to see Jacob, in Jacobs cabin where he lives - or so Locke thinks. Inside the cabin he meets Christian, who tells him he is speaking for Jacob, and that he has to move the island. Locke goes outside and tells Ben "We have to move the island".
Ben then turns the wheel, is banished and starts the island jumping in time.
This season:
Locke meets Richard, who tells him he has to get the other losties back, and has to die.
Christian appears to Locke and tells him that he said HE had to turn the wheel, not anyone else. Locke turns the wheel and goes to round up the wayward losties. He then tries to kill himself, but Ben beats him to it.
Back on the island, Nemesis assumes Locke form. Ben believes this is Locke reborn, and goes to stand trial.
Nemesis, in the form of Smokey/Alex, tells Ben to follow "Locke" and do whatever he says.
Nemesis/Locke tells Richard to tell Locke that he has to die.
Nemesis/Locke asks Richard to take him to Jacob, where he convinces Ben to kill him.
