It's the end of the world and he "knows" it and he feels fine.
Seriously, this too is part of Christianity. It was founded as a doomsday/death cult by Gnostics who felt the material world was inherently evil and the goal of life was to escape to a better, "spiritual" realm.
You are right the gnostics are a cult, you are wrong about them being the founders of christianity, Christ and Him alone has that wonderful title.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
