well the answer wasn't "yes" because that's not how you phrased the question, but i'll oblige your massive intellect and answer anyway:

there were plenty people around to preach jesus' word to. they preached to everyone they could, and never wanted for new ears. what purpose would it serve for jesus to let them know about people living thousands of miles away on the other end of the globe, across an ocean none of them would ever see and which wouldn't be crossed for another 1000+ years?

Because Jesus was not only the son of the being who created the planet Earth and all life but also one in the same with that being, it's very reasonable to believe that Jesus would've known about the people who were living on the other side of the planet.
i don't even know exactly what in the fuck god him/her/itself may be all about, how can i assume anything about the son of god? this is a really silly argument. assumptions can be fun, but they don't get us anywhere.
