Well what is to learn? Paul probably thought the world was flat at that time in history. He may have heard of England but that would have been the ends of the earth at that time. He may not even have heard of China or knew it existed. Marco Polo did not go to China with news of the Gospel until when? Around 1200 AD? And the Americas were not discovered for several more hundred years. Paul had no idea that the world was round and the sun, not earth, was the center of the solar system. Paul had no idea there were other continents where no one had ever heard of Jesus. Paul's world was very small. But God's world was very large by comparison. So when Jesus says the whole world, I don't think he meant Paul's understanding of the whole world. He meant God's understanding of the whole world. Jesus said he had sheep in other folds they knew not of.
