Kuruharan brought up a good point about the Valar allowing Illuvatar to deal with the Numenoreans and not taking an active hand, other than sending the Istari in the third age. Then combine that with the fact Gandalf returned under the authority of a higher power, and it seems as though it was Illuvatars will that men finally take their stand without the "supernatural" aid, and begin their time of dominance.
