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.
I believe it refers to the fact that the saving work Jesus had come to earth to do had been completed.
I see it as two views of the same time and accomplishment.
