Okay, seems I did not make my line of think clear enough. My assumption was from the start, if the prophecy is only a roumor among men the sub-chapter tilte is of course no more authoritativ than the content and equaly who wrote it, it reffers to not more than the roumor of men.
'End of Days': I would think Finrod allude to that concept in the Athrabeth.
'Dagor Dagorath' and 'Manwe descending from Ilmarin': Came from a discussion about Gandalf, when he could no longer been asked. So equaly if the author is considered to be a Hobbit or a Gondorian, he is a learned person of the early Fourth Age. The ultimate source could thus be either elvish via Imladris or ( Manish or Elvish ) via Númenor - ( Arnor - Imladirs ) or Gondor.
Respectfully
