came to pass
Became a reality
Came to pass means happened or occurred, with a formal or literary flavor.
The phrase appears frequently in religious texts, especially the King James Bible: And it came to pass that the king died.
Outside biblical or archaic contexts, it sounds deliberately elevated or ironic: Everything she predicted came to pass.
