The time limit

[DharmaRecruit44]

When Ben visits Jill to drop off Locke's body she tells him that he has a certain amount of time to get everyone together. I can't remember exactly but like 70 hours or something. Does anyone have any ideas why there is this time limit and what it could mean?

I'm guessing that at that time the island will appear again in the present. Outside of that....it's anybody's guess....well, except the writers.

Maybe the world keeps revolving the Island is somewhere else????and when the 70 hours is up that is when one can be sucked back into the Island.

IDK, but the "Lost is a game" theory lovers are eating it up.

Greetings fellow lost disciples. NEW MEMBER ALERT!

Ok then. Ben go's to see the woman in the church ( forgot her name, she's the same one who tells Des he cant change history ) before their meeting we see a old 70's Dharma style computer which is displaying locations on a map ( also there is a 'machine' scribing marks on a map ) As we know the island moves locations as well as moving through time. So we could say the island is in a different location in the 50's to where it would be in the 70's 80's etc I guess she has determined an 'event window' which presents a possibility in 70 hours for them to get back. Having worked out where and when the Island will re' appear in the present day. Hope that makes sense to you.
