bring/come to past

Just ran across this one: lots of exx.

The Saddest moment in History has came to past!!! :-( !!!!!!THIS MAY BE A RUMOR!!!!!! the saddest moment in history was… John Heder has died!!!

They said he would not be able to walk, but that never came to past. Melvin never gave up.

Since I was about eight years old, I started to dream dreams of the future and see visions while awake, some came to past and some did not

We hold meetings on each aspect of the vision: what each step meant, how it was to come to past in the fulfillment of each
segment

If God promised it, He’ll bring it to past. You can’t be faint or be weary in well-doing. You’ll reap that harvest, if you faint not.

Why does GOD promise us things but then takes very long to bring them to past ? I feel like giving up sometime.

[In] the future you will say you were part of the change in process that brought it to past. Remember share your technology

There is all kinds of mixing up going on among pass, past, and passed. But the high numbers (e.g. over a meg on come to past ) make me suppose this isn’t random confusion here but people thinking this is the standard form.
.
And it makes sense. If something has passed/past into history, and so is part of the past, it has come (or been brought) to past.

Re: bring/come to past

We also have small notes on past/passed in the database here and here

Re: bring/come to past

Thanks, Kem, I missed those. Also pass for past is quite common, and there are doubtless other cases of past for pass besides these.
