I see the "It is done," in Revelation 21:6.

I see the "It is done," in Revelation 21:6.

A good observation and a good connection of completeness. I also see the ‘It is done’ in Revelation 21:6. Not that I disagree with the connection at all, but they represent two different times and two different accomplishments, one completing His earthly ministry, the other completing His eternal purpose. I see the completeness that I believe you are pointing to.

What was completed prior to John 19:28.

 

[percho]

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

My God My God why has thou forsaken me?

or what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in [unto] the flesh, that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

I believe it refers to the fact that the saving work Jesus had come to earth to do had been completed.
