I agree with you. The same thing should apply to the Hebrews. What they were
capable of receiving/understanding which is why it should not be a deal
killer for them to have received some revelation or information about nature
which would not be understood for a long time.

Revelation? Absolutely. I'm quite sure everyone would agree that the Bible
is all revelation. It is only a question of what is being revealed. If God
were simply telling us that which we already know, it would be simply a
reminder, not revelation. The Bible is supposed to teach us something which
we either do not know (revelation), do not follow (needing reminders), or
combinations of both. For someone new to Christianity or religion in
general it is nearly complete revelation. For those who know (most of it)
it is a reminder. But there is no denying that the Bible is full of
revelation. Unfortunately, many see revelation only in the theological and
sociological aspects. Even historical revelation does not seem to be
considered by many. Revelation need not be only of future events, but can
also be of things past, but forgotten with time. Or in the case of
creation, before man's time.
