Ipse venit
Explanation:
'Ipse' is used here as an intensive pronoun, (i.e., '(He) himself is coming, (he) is coming his very self'), his divinity or mystery being emphasized thereby.

Cf. 'ipse dixit', itself a translation of Greek 'autòs épē', which commonly introduces a direct or indirect statement made by a philosophical teacher or other authority ('He himself said (that . . .), the Master said (that . . .)'.
