Not me.
I've never been one to jump on the "the end is nigh" bandwagon, and I'm too old to start now. I don't subscribe to any of the millenialist views of scriptures, since all of them were invented for the most part in the 1800's, and none of them particularly reflect anything scriptural - they all appear to be the product peddled by snake-oil salesmen.
All an eclipse means to me is that orbital mechanics are still working the same as they have for billions of years. The Celetstial Dragon eats the sun and then spits it back out on the regular, same as it has ever since there has existed a moon - yet here we all are, still here with feet firmly planted on Terra Firma, same as it has always been.
I am blissfully unaware of any religiously-oriented "signs" that would indicate anything other than a standard eclipse and aftermath, same as always. I do see abundant secular signs that the US is drawing near it's end as a functioning political entity if something drastic is not done, but those are all secular, and follow the same pattern as the demise of cultures all throughout history. And, like those demises, life will still go on, changed, but still moving, as it always has.
I do not believe God cares enough about the US any more to haul it's fat out of the fire, nor do I believe God cares enough about the US any more to toss it INTO the fire. The same goes for Christianity - when you abandon God as Christianity has done and is doing, then God abandons YOU, leaves you to sort it out with your own devices. Humans are notoriously bad at sorting out their own messes, and the end - of a culture - inevitably follows, eventually to be replaced by another... which, in it's turn and in due time, will also meet it's own end.
That's just the way of things, as history clearly shows.
