The expression is not "Come to bare" but is actually "Come to bear." In this sense, "bear" is referring to a load or burden; for example, when a wall in a house bears the weight of an upper floor or a roof it is said to be a "load bearing wall."

If something "comes to bear," the force or effect of it starts to be felt.
