The God of the Bible is the God of the universe. Not some localized forest spirit. Yahweh (actually just YHWH) means "I am that I am". Just another way of saying "God," and that's how it should be translated into English. The term "Yahweh" is a product of modern Judaizing and is not correct.
God isn't specific to the jews. The jews are regularly castigated and punished throughout the Bible for falsely believing they were special merely for being jews, which I talk about in those verses I linked to.
> I realize Rome and Greece are discussed, but usually in negative light from my recollection.
They are presented in a more positive light actually. Jesus asks God to forgive the Romans who crucified him, but not the jews who persecuted him, for instance. Pontius Pilate is portrayed sympathetically as well.
>weird because it seems like when i read the bible, jews and israel were mentioned way more than, oh, i dunno, Germany, Scandinavia, Gaul, Britain, Ireland, etc.
Paul's letters were exclusively addressed to Whites if I am not mistaken. Romans, Galatians, Thessalonians. All sorts of peoples are featured in the Bible: Assyrians (who exterminate the Israelites) Seleucids, Egyptians, Hittites I believe, etc.
