Ryan ,
That sounds like it will be a very profitable sermon , Lord willing.
We have studied the same exact theme in our sunday school for the past month, using the separation that takes place at the Great white throne judgement.
Throughout redemptive history God has used judgement to protect the Godly line. [flood , Sodom, Exodus,etc]
Here in Ezk.22
Quote:
26Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

This repeated sin of failing to separate unto the Lord , but to profane themselves with all manner of idols/ Leads to Jesus coming to be the True Israel Ezk. 34 / on behalf of His people[ the sheep] Isa 49:1-8
The final judgement and second death makes eternal what has happened in time. Either being judged In Christ [like your message will bring out] Him being the substitute, or the sinner going to get the eternal wages of sin.
