One of the several reason why I think Isa.66 found fulfilment in Old Covenant times, is because the context mentions the Levite order of priesthood, an order which has now past away.
The Levitical priesthood was a shadow - and God isn't interested in reverting to a shadow once the real Person has already come.
(And it wouldn't be possible to reinstate a legitimate Levitical priesthood anyway, seeing the required genealogies -showing descendency from Levi - were lost)
But of course the chapter is encouraging for us today in several ways.
