If not, and I don't think there is anything in there that does, then it is probably Dharma made.
If it is Dharma made (and if you look at the original biblical source of the quote, a convincing argument can be made that the DI is the Jacob that will survive the Numbers-altering intentional apocalypse that the Esau commoners will not), then "Jacob" is a creation of Ben to use the Room 23 video to keep his flock in line (and I've pointed out before, with Juliet in the missing pieces and the beach others in the season 3 finale, how badly they lose their composure when Ben's omnipotence is questioned).
The one question is does either Horace or Christian explicitly call him Jacob in the last episode? According to memory & Cabin Fever transcript - Lostpedia
they don't, meaning that we only know "his" name from Ben. I'd think by now you people would learn to stop making assumptions, especially based only on information characters known to lie endlessly have said. |

Interesting to compare John's birth to Ben's. I didn't remember that scene till looking at those transcripts.
Clearly intentional. And part of the passing of the torch from Ben to John it seems.
