End times.

[Indis]

§31 Thus spake Mandos in prophecy, when the Gods sat in judgement in Valinor, and the rumour of his words was whispered among all the Elves of the West. When the world is old and the Powers grow weary, then Morgoth, seeing that the guard sleepeth, shall come back through the Door of Night out of the Timeless Void; and he shall destroy the Sun and Moon. But Eärendel shall descend upon him as a white and searing flame and drive him from the airs. Then shall the Last Battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Morgoth, and on his right hand shall be Fionwë (earlier form of Eönwë), and on his left Túrin Turambar, son of Húrin, coming from the halls of Mandos; and the black sword of Túrin shall deal unto Morgoth his death and final end; and so shall the children of Húrin and all Men be avenged.

§32 Thereafter shall Earth be broken and re-made, and the Silmarils shall be recovered out of Air and Earth and Sea; for Eärendel shall descend and surrender that flame which he hath had in keeping. Then Fëanor shall take the Three Jewels and bear them to Yavanna Palúrien; and she will break them and with their fire rekindle the Two Trees, and a great light shall come forth. And the Mountains of Valinor shall be levelled, so that the Light shall go out over all the world. In that light the Gods will grow young again, and the Elves awake and all their dead arise, and the purpose of Ilúvatar be fulfilled concerning them. But of Men in that day the prophecy of Mandos doth not speak, and no Man it names, save Túrin only, and to him a place is given among the sons of the Valar.

From the unfinished tails ( I think)


Discuss your veiws on the end times and if you feel it will or will not happen.

There was a prophecy uttered by Mandos called Dagor Dagorath, the Last Battle...Some may contend that this is a battle that will happen soon, and if it does then it would be the last battle of an age.....But based on my meditation tonight....there is a different story told:

Morgoth, seeing that the guard sleepeth, shall come back through the Door of Night out of the Timeless Void; and he shall destroy the Sun and Moon....

This refers to the supernova of the Sun roughly 5 billion years from now....when the Sun is destroyed , all orbits thrown, which would lead to the destruction of the Moon naturally.

Thereafter shall Earth be broken and re-made, and the Silmarils shall be recovered out of Air and Earth and Sea; for Eärendel shall descend and surrender that flame which he hath had in keeping. Then Fëanor shall take the Three Jewels and bear them to Yavanna Palúrien; and she will break them and with their fire rekindle the Two Trees, and a great light shall come forth. And the Mountains of Valinor shall be levelled, so that the Light shall go out over all the world. In that light the Gods will grow young again, and the Elves awake and all their dead arise, and the purpose of Ilúvatar be fulfilled concerning them. But of Men in that day the prophecy of Mandos doth not speak, and no Man it names, save Túrin only, and to him a place is given among the sons of the Valar.

This passage makes it seem that it would be soon, but the true Last Battle is quite far off. This passage refers to Arda in a higher vibrational frequency perhaps....

I know that after the supernova , Melkor will be defeated since Arda as we know it will be destroyed and Melkor's spirit will be rendered impotent and the Tale of Arda will end, during which time a new Music will be sung, will Eruhini participating as siblings with the Ainur... What this will yield , only time will tell......but the Eldar made much reference to Arda Remade and Arda Unmarred coming of this.

another point is that the last battle will be fought in Valinor not Arda for Arda will be destroyed as a planet..which would make it possible to "kill" Melkor as Turin is prophesied to do...

I realize this may be very disconnected for I am recording all of this before I forget...
