La lettre 246 du recueil The Letteres of J.R.R. Tolkien est claire pour qu'on puisse affirmer l'interventionnisme d'Eru sur Orodruin.
[citation]"Frodo had done what he could and spent himself completely (as an instrument of Providence) and had produced a situation in which the object of his quest could be achieved.His humility (with which he began) and his sufferings were justly rewarded by highest honour; and his exercice of patience and mercy towards Gollum gained him Mercy: his failure was redressed."[/citation]
Les expressions "instrument of Providence" et "his failure was redressed" me semblent particulièrement significatives.
Cirdan
ps: Il ya quelques autres exemples d'intervention divine. C'est encore Eru qui intervient directement pour créer la réincarnation des elfes après la "mort" de Miriel (cf. HoME X). C'est aussi lui qui réssucite Gandalf après la perte de son envellope charnelle lors de sa bataille avec le Balrog de la Moria.
