The life of the characters before the crash portrayed in the flashbacks in the show, represent the life of the audience before the show Lost aired on television. The afterlife of the characters which is if the plane had not crashed represents the point of view of the audience after the show, just like the show never existed and all viewers go back to their lives like nothing happened. And the end, which is the church part, represents the moment where the audience realizes the truth about the show. The very last seven minutes of the show, which is supposed to represent the end for the characters, also represents the end for the audience.
