After some thought about it, I must admiss that my repley was bit to much counter-argumentation. It is clearly reasonable to skip the "all". The cause for it is to be unspecific and that is desireable all the way. Thus if nobody will step up for it the "all" is gone. But I would like to point out that this should still not restrict the meaning to the Numenoreans as the only who know about the prophecy.
Respectfully
