Another example of mortal foresight would be in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad when Huor says to Turgon:

Quote:
Yet if it stands but a little while, then out of your house shall come the hopes of Elves and Men. This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here for ever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from you and from me a new star shall arise. Farewell!
This of course is talking of the grandson of Huor, Eärendil. From the daughter of Turgon, Idril, and the son of Huor, Tuor. This is one prediction that comes true, but then he even forsees the rise of Eärendil into the heavens on Vingilot.
