What is "to meet one's maker"

Maker \Mak"er\ (m[=a]k"[~e]r), n.

1. One who makes, forms, or molds; a manufacturer; specifically, the Creator.

   The universal Maker we may praise.
   --Milton.

2. (Law) The person who makes a promissory note.

3. One who writes verses; a poet. [Obs.]

   Note: ``The Greeks named the poet poihth`s, which name, as the most excellent, hath gone through other languages. It cometh of this word poiei^n, make; wherein, I know not whether by luck or wisdom, we Englishmen have met well the Greeks in calling him a maker.''
   --Sir P. Sidney.

   To meet one's maker, to die.
