This is essentially a pictorial SPOILER post involving Jack, Hurley,The Numbers and names attached to The Numbers as well as other names/numbers--the significance of which we are not really sure.

In the just-aired-in-the-US & Canada LOST (E6x05, 'The Lighthouse'), Hurley and Jack--at Jacob's behest (of Hurley) went to the Lighthouse wherein were The Numbers and names--written in a fashion much more easy to read than on last week's cave wall--they were on a piece of nautical navigational equipment with "degrees" on it. It was massive (see photos) and it had a triad of mirrors that I suppose would reflect pertinent scenes of the particular person for whom the degree setting was on mark. Hurley was maneuvering the device by pulling a chain and Jack caught a glimpse of what he called his childhood home in the mirrors. He ran over the the dial saw "Shephard" was at 23 degrees and then lost his cool completely. (So very Jack.)
"He's been watching me all my life!!!" he bellowed, while contorting his face in the most violently disturbing way I've ever seen Jack do (and that takes some doing). He yelled at Hurley to bring Jacob there but Hurley can't because that is not one of Hurley's "powers." Hurley interacts with dead people but he does not control when they show up, Hurley sort of explained. Jack became enraged even further and smashed the mirror but not before quite a few names, possible candidates were visible to the viewer including some that the average, non-obsessive LOST fan could recognize. Wait, is there anyone like that?

Have a gander at the photos of the Jacob's Candidate/Numbers dial device in the lighthouse and tell me what you think!

My big question (besides WHO IS WALLACE?!) is when Jack is saying go back to his number he saw "something," when he did check at 23° he said he saw his childhood home. But. I see a picture of a pagoda, too. Is that another candidate's number/image? UPDATE*/ It is the place Jin and Sun got married. There's another, less-clear photo too that does not look like the image Jack identified as his home. UPDATE/ It is the church where Sawyer's parent's funeral was held.
UPDATE*! Thanks to Vozzek69!
