Again, I have said this a lot, but this battle, this resolution is 'the end', not just in the sense of the show, but 'It only ends once, anything that happens before that is just progress' - sure its very likely there will be a new Jacob and maybe a new antagonist to that, but ever since he said that on the beach, I dunno it's like this is the deciding battle.
Whatever the smoke is, 'evil', this is the first time the evil has managed to find a loophole and is in a position to leave actually leave. Widmore, Jacob and Hurley have all said that if MIB/smokey/evil leaves the island, then everything is over, everyone is dead, existence ends etc and that is the case. This is the final battle. So even if there is to be a new Jacob out of the candidates, that doesn't mean they will carry on guarding the Island necessarily, it could mean that that chosen one is the only one who in the end can kill/destroy/trap the evil for good.
