Baha'u'llah presented Himself to the local people in the Haifa-Akka region - there is at least one tablet revealed to the local population - the Tablet to Hardegg, the leader of the German Christians in Haifa. A friend offered this partial translation and it shows that Baha'u'llah squarely stated Who He was.
Be-Naam-e-Daanay-e tavaana
In the Name of the Omniscient the Omnipotent...
Ey Mala'-e Yahood
O concourse of Israel
Shomaa az man boodeed
You were of Me
cheh shod haala maraa na-meeshenaaseed
Why is that ye recognize Me not? ...
dar in Kalima-ye Yuhanna tafakkor koneed
Ponder in this Word of John for John hath announced unto you the descent of
madeena muqaddasa-ye 'azeema
A Holy A Great City
wa qaala
and He said
wa lam ara feeha haykalan
And I did not see a Haykal a Temple therein
wal madeenatu laa tahtaaju ...
and the City does not need lil-shamsi the sun
leanna Baha'u'llah azaa'a feeha
for the Glory of God is the Light of it.
