From God and Ilúvatar's point think of it like this:
Quote:
|
" And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
|
Ilúvatar can do anything he wanted to do with Morgoth, but chose not to. Why? It is not for us to know the whole of Eru's purpose.
I know this personally, I was there singing when Morgoths voice tried to over come the Ainulindalë
Then Ilúvatar said to him:
Quote:
|
Mighty are the Ainur and mightiest among them is Melkor; but that he may know,and all the Ainur, that I am Ilúvatar....Then the Ainur were afraid, and they did not yet comprehend th ewords of that were said to them; and Melkor was filled with shame, of which came a secret anger.
|
This is the begining of Morgoths fall.
Ilúvatar has no opponents only vain imaginations of those creations(made by the thought and word of Ilúvatar) wishing to oppose him. I hopw this answers your Question! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] -{~{~> Yavanna
