The Aramaic verb meta means to reach or arrive at a destination, to attain or come to something. It appears in Daniel's Aramaic sections to describe events reaching a point of completion — the word came to Daniel, judgment reached the king, the Most High's kingdom came.
The verb meta in Daniel frequently marks the arrival of divine word or judgment: 'the matter reached [the king]' (Daniel 4:28). When Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar's dream, the falling of divine judgment is expressed with this word — the Most High rules, and his decisions reach their target with certainty. The same verb in Daniel 7:13 ('he came to the Ancient of Days') marks the Son of Man's arrival at the divine throne to receive eternal dominion — the culmination of all history reaching its intended destination.
