In briefanswer capsule

The Children of Ilúvatar comprise Elves and Men, known as the Firstborn and the Followers. Tradition holds that, once the days have ended, the Ainur’s choirs together with these Children will present before Ilúvatar a music greater still than the first. At that time his themes will sound correctly and receive existence as they are spoken, because everyone will grasp his purpose in their own role and will share one another’s understanding.
