Just an interesting thought, I had a couple of people tell me that the writers hinted that some of the plot for the next two seasons can be revealed by reading the Bible. Of course, these are just theories, but I did want to point them out.
1. All of the Biblical references thus far seem to revert back to the Old Testament. I believe there is significance there, and that one of the characters will play a "savior" kind of role. Perhaps one of them will have to die for the sake of the others? I don't know.
2. I believe that Widmore once owning the island is very significant, specially considering Jacob seems to rule it currently. The scripture in the brain washing video (Room 23) said "God loves you as he loved Jacob." Jacob received his fathers blessing by deceiving him along with his mother, and therefore his brother Esau was left without the blessing that was his according to Jewish tradition. I believe that the Island is symbolic of Israel in that specific story, Jacob is symbolic of Jacob, and Widmore is symbolic if Esau. Another Israel reference would be God scattering his people (70 A.D.) and then bringing them back together (After World War 2). Season 5 is about regathering.
3. It is Jewish tradition that rulership was passed down through lineage. For example, Abraham had Issac, who then had Jacob, who then had 12 sons which split Israel into 12 different tribes. I believe that Jack is related to Jacob. He's probably his grandson. Here's why. Both Christian (Jack's Father) and Claire (Jack's Sister) were seen in Jacob's cabin seemingly unharmed and more aware of what's going on. This also leads me to believe that baby Aaron will play the savior role I was talking about earlier.
So why all of this? I read a theory at Lost-Theories.com that I very much enjoyed.
The numbers signify the end of the world.

This would signify a certain importance as it's 7 years after 2008 (the current year), which the Bible predicts will be a horrible time. It's actually referred to as "Jacob's Trouble." Jacob, in the Bible, is later named Israel. Jacob's Trouble is a reference to a time of great tribulation, specially in Israel.
As far as lost is concerned, this tribulation would be on the island; which Locke hinted is already happening.
Just some thoughts and theories.
