Actually, there was a prophecy concerning the Witch-King's fate. Following the defeat of the forces of Angmar, Glorfindel holds back Earnur from pursuing the Witch-king, saying:

Do not pursue him! He will not return to this land. Far of yet is his doom, and not by the hand of man will he fall. (Appendix A)

Whether the Witch-King was aware of this prophecy, or whether he was just boasting of his invincibility, is not clear.
