He (Baha'u'llah) it is Who, in the Old Testament (Torah) hath been named YHWH "Jehovah”


In a number of his epistles of the late ‘Akka period, Bahá'u'lláh clearly claimed to be YHWH, the Divinity Who conversed with Moses from the burning bush and whose eschatological advent as “YHWH of hosts” (“the Lord of hosts”) was predicted by the Israelite prophets. In, for example, the following lines addressed to a Jewish convert to the Baha'i Faith named Aqa Jan, Baha'u'llah writes:
The Face of the Ancient One [Baha'u'llah] hath turned towards the sages (hukama) in the Land of al-ha' and al-mim [Hamadan, in Iran] and announceth unto them the glad-tidings of the Ridvan (Paradise) of God, the Lord of all the worlds: “By God! He Who hath been named YHWH "Jehovah" in the Torah hath come.
Translated from an unpublished and uncatalogued manuscript of epistles of Baha'u'llah
