You need context:

7:21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

Yeah, the video missed the point of why Jesus said to get away from Him. As the greater context shows. It was not because they prayed to Him as God the Son, but because they were hypocrites. It is not just saying Lord, or doing great or mighty works supposedly in His name (even miracles can be faked) but the ones who actually does the will of the Father. And then, verse 24 says to obey His (Jesus’s) words because He speaks with authority. He puts His words on par with the will of the Father, making His teaching equal. It is not falsely attributing deity to Jesus that brings His judgment on “that day” but knowing His teachings and not doing them (v 26). Obeying Jesus as the very Word of God is our safe haven in the coming storm. The original video missed it entirely. And, this renews my prayer for mercy from God as I can be guilty of this very thing. Thank God I have a mediator between the Judge and me, the God-man Christ Jesus.
