well, you know, it is not good to build theology around your own opinions .
as i have told you multiple times, God spoke to Moses in Leviticus of the " Covenant He made with the fathers of those who came out of egypt"
so, it is very clear that God made a singular Covenant with a singular people. the Sabbath was in that Covenant.
so, no, the Law was not given to the whole world.

Wasn't it the pharisees making this the requirement?
Acts 15
5But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
The answer.
9And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
19Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

Jesus was speaking of the Commands He gave while on earth.
right before that He said " if you ask Me for anything in my name, i will do it".
and then after that he said " i will ask the Father and He will send the Advocate ....."
so, Jesus was not speaking of the Torah, but His commands He gave in Person.

That's you confusing the commands .
19¶Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21¶Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
