What if in the island's passed when Ben was still growing up (let’s say in the late 1980's long after he first met Richard) The young Charles Widmore saw Jacob for the first time at the cabin, and was told special things by Jacob. For some reason Widmore tells young Ben (who is secretly spending time outside the Dharma fence area, hanging out with the others in his free time) about seeing Jacob at his cabin, before telling Richard or any of the others. Ben then in his evil way comes up with a way to discredit Charles Widmore with Richard and the rest of The Others, and says it is he Ben, who has seen and been told things by Jacob, and from then on Ben lies about everything having to do with Jacob. Charles Widmore is kicked of the island, hence taking the island from Widmore that was just given' him by Jacob.
This is why I think Jacob yells, "Help Me" in a passed episode. Jacob needs help to get his people away from Ben and put the island under the control of someone Jacob wants in power (John). Charles Widmore might just be a good guy in all of this, but his reputation is very bad with Richard and the others and the people connected with them. It also seems that in each episode The Others and Richard are becoming more and more suspect and not very trusting with Ben (but not yet to the point where they keep him out of the loop), just in case Jacob did want Ben in power. The bad thing about Jacob only talking to very select people is that no one can confirm anything; it's all done on faith. Or, it could be that the present day Ben who just got to the island will go see Richard, and tell him that His is the older version of the Ben they hang with, and Jacob told him to come back and get rid of Widmore and put the young version of himself in power after he kills the Dharma people in a gas attack. I am also thinking that the Older Ben will tell the Younger version of himself how to kill everyone with the gas.
This show is just so fun! :D
