There are some things that Jesus said using one of these terms that is limited to Israel. In Mt 5, the inheriting of the 'gea' is because in that generation to avoid conflict with Rome would have saved the place. Some of these are in Mt 24A about the DofJ.
But 'kosmos' is used for world as early as Jn 3 which is way before mid-Acts which is MAD, I mean, madness. God loved the 'kosmos' in 3 and provided a sacrifice which satisfied divine justice. The 'kosmos' was made through the Word, but the 'kosmos' did not receive him, ch 1. Obviously, 'kosmos' in these is wider than Israel.
I'm point this out because the entire world-wide breadth of the Gospel is declared to be the purpose of Christ on earth and early in His ministry.
MAD is phantom and madness and nowhere, rather than now here.
