SDA Issues - Isaiah 3 for us?

For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the
stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
vs.1-3

"Isaiah 3, .....*has its application to these last days; *and the reproofs are given to the daughters of Zion..." Spiritual Gifts E.G.W.

NOTICE --- vs.12
As for my people,
--children are their oppressors,
--and women rule over them.
O my people,
--they which lead thee cause thee to err,
--and destroy the way of thy paths.
Is this about those who push to toss out the Biblical Doctrines and Creation in the name of appealing to the young while bringing in secular oriented worship styles?
Those who push women ordination dividing God's people today?

NOTICE --- vs.9
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul!
Is this about those who don't just proudly tout their rebellion in the public arena today--but go a step further and are literally pushing for the ways of Sodom to be brought into the Church?

NOTICE now --this is interesting --vs.5
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
Is this what we are seeing when the honorable men of truth in the Church are harassed by certain leaders or blocked from preaching in their conferences for holding to the Biblical Doctrines of the Church?

NOTICE what word is used to describe those who do this to God's people --- vs.10,11
*Say ye to the righteous,
that it shall be well with him:
for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
*Woe unto the wicked!
it shall be ill with him:
for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
