If so, does that mean that the prophetic phrase about the last days applies to everyone?
Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
Isaiah 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Jews do not know the meaning of this prophecy, nor do they know who the God of Jacob is. The same goes for Christians.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
genos: family, offspring
Original Word: γένος, ους, τό
Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
Transliteration: genos
Phonetic Spelling: (ghen'-os)
Definition: family, offspring
Usage: offspring, family, race, nation, kind.
This is the Church age generation, having been going on for 2000 years. It's not in the sense of a generation that was born and living at about the same time

The current walls around Bethlehem @GlorytoGod is probably the walls of Jericho 😊
The chosen generation does not refer to all generations. "This generation" refers to the generation seeking who Jacob is, a character in the prophecies. God refers to Himself as the God of Jacob.
Peter1 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Ecclesiaste 1:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
For Jesus to sit in the temple of Jerusalem again it will need to be recaptured 😊
Prophecy stands for all generations
Isaiah Meaning:Salvation of the Lord. Isaiah is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, meaning "salvation of the Lord." Derived from the Hebrew phrase Yeshayahu,

John 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
John 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
What is the name of Father? If we examine the passage above, Jesus says in the New Testament that He revealed His Father's name to them. However, we cannot find the Father's name in the New Testament. He stated that He revealed the Father's name and will reveal it again. This can also be interpreted as a prophecy symbolizing future events. Then who are 'they'? I was able to find the name of God in the Old Testament.

In another translation of John 17-6 it it says I shown them what your like
It may well mean Jesus said i have made him known to them I have shown them what your like.
As the hebrews already knew the fathers name was I Am / Jehova /!yehweh / yhwh/.
So it was more than likely another translation other than the one your looking at.
So no I don't think your translation is what is meant, and best not to think that 😊

In Zephaniah we are taught that the New Name of our Maker will be given us after all have been given a pure language. This is in order for all to call upon our Lord with one name in one accord. Here are a few versions of this teaching.
Zephaniah 3:9

(ASV) For then will I turn to the peoples of a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one consent.
(French LS) Alors je donnerai aux peuples des lèvres pures, Afin qu'ils invoquent tous le nom de l'Éternel, Pour le servir d'un commun accord.
(German SB) Denn alsdann will ich den Völkern die Sprache ändern, daß sie rein werde, daß sie alle des HERRN Namen anrufen und ihm einträchtig dienen.
(Hebrew OT) כי־אז אהפך אל־עמים שׂפה ברורה לקרא כלם בשׁם יהוה לעבדו שׁכם אחד׃

John was made a prophet after the coming of the lord he was told God to write the book of revelation @GlorytoGod
But also he was told not to write something
And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”

It is God’s people. “Comfort ye My people.” God’s people today who understand the truth of God’s Word are the chosen generation described in 1 Peter 2:9-10. We are the generation who are living in the time of the parable of the fig tree, the final generation.
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Isaiah 40:1-3
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light… 1 Peter 2:9
