Tolkien stated that Iluvatar had never entered into Arda, and would not until the last battle was fought. Morgoth's armies were stronger than those of Sauron, but Morgoth himself was not. Once Morgoth dispersed his power into Arda he lost it forever.

Yet the lies that Melkor, the mighty and accursed, Morgoth Bauglir, the Power of Terror and of Hate, sowed in the hearts of Elves and Men are a seed that does not die and cannot be destroyed; and ever and anon it sprouts anew, and will bear dark fruit even unto the latest days.
