Hebrews is written to the converted Essenes.
They indeed did not have anything with the temple. Yigael Yadin (a famous Jew as you might know) has suggested this.
The Jews in Greece or Asia were not ignoring the temple as many jews (Acts mentions this) attended the jewish festivals/feasts and the essenes did not.
I have attended a lecture about this, and Hebrews has all signs that it was written to Essenes
1. They hated boosting so, the author left out his name
2. They hated the Jerusalem temple and the corrupt priests
3. They were exaggerating obedience and believe in angels
4. They hated Jerusalem itself (therefore, they lived isolated)
5. They must have met John the Baptizer since he lived isolated in the wilderness as well.
there were more things. But Hebrews is MORE than other books in the Bible having an Aramaic source.
About illumination. How can one descend to illumination?
Me thinks that this in combination with 2 Peter 1:19 that being a illuminated luciferian is not a bad thing at all.

Another sample: Hebrews 12:18 (this is a variation between byzantin and alexandrian roots)

If these two samples do not convince you, why should the other (estimate) 50 examples convince you? might just believe that the original was in Greek. it would make your life more simple <!-- s
