what does this form stand for?
I came across the 3rd person singular form written as "cometh", "maketh" instead of "comes" and "makes". What does it mean and what is the usage of such forms?

This is "old English" and is found in the Bible, in some old dialogue, or some cultures like Amish or old Mennonite speech, or early puritan immigrant cultures of early Britain or America.

It's old English.... cometh=comes; maketh=makes.
In this case, it's to make a normal event seem "important".
