Since my reading in Tolkien is still limited to the Holy Trinity (Hobbit, LOTR, Sil), I would request that the more erudite amongst us kindly elucidate the following topic for me...

Could someone please explain Arda's parousia, or end times, to me? I'm thinking mainly of Morgoth's release, any final battles, and of course, the Second Music of the Ainur. How does all of this go down? What prophecies (if any) did the good Professor record and/or explain?

Any help in this area is greatly appreciated. If another thread has adequately covered this, simply point the way (with a link, please).
