To me, the thought being expressed in the cited verse is similar to Paul's teaching in Romans 1:20 that, even if individuals had never explicitly heard the gospel, God had still provided them a witness to Himself through such external factors as the majesty and orderliness of the universe, as well as the internal voice of conscience. In those respects, knowledge of Him did indeed reach to the farthest extents of earth, even in Old Testament times, or in locations that may never have been the specific focus of Christian evangelism. (And, of course, that has been increasingly true through modern means of communication and contact that did not exist in the Biblical era.)
