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.

That's a good point for my thoughts. I see it as a mix of secular signs matching up to Biblical signs. As well as signs in the heavens, in nature itself, even within the spirits of the people around me in society. There's too much to name, otherwise I'd flood the thread with "signs."
I'm with you as far as never feeding into the rapture and "end times" church view and its use in controllingpeople through fear. I'm non religious but love the Lord and follow His Word. It's a personal (not public) relationship with me and Him. I see how the devil can use these "events" for his own evil intent though. You can tell how well it works with how many people do, actually, "jump on that bandwagon" during these times. I'm noticing a major uptick in millennial and gen z questioning things like the rapture, nephilim, end of days theories than I have ever noticed until this particular eclipse for some reason.
As was pointed out, it would be a great time to fool the masses, or get the mass of people into some sort of frenzy. Not to be doom porn myself, but I see the potential for lots of violence and looting and such.
Imagine millions of people flocking to see the eclipse only to be let down by clouds...
That alone is enough to set off a violent mob that can get out of hand and grow into something like civil war.
Which I believe is what they want.
But that's one theory.
The US is circling the drain either way. That's a fact.
I'm just not a believer in coincidences and there are too many astronomical signs attached to this one for it not to mean something.
A trigger for the rapture?
Not at all. People have always thought this during every word event.
Even as a sceptic like you, this one has me a little curious as to what may transpire. Whatever it may be, it will be visible to the secular realm as well as the spiritual.
The cerns collider being fired up on the same day as the eclipse is too big a coincidence. I suggest taking a look at the "opening ceremony for that tunnel" they just had. It's nothing but satanic symbolism.
Around 23 minutes left is the intro to the antichrist. This will blow your mind. Opening ceremony for that tunnel. They are showing the ushering in of the antichrist in this "ceremony." Unfortunately, this is not the original video I found last night. It has disappeared. Mixing of secular and spiritual.....at the cerns collider. Crazy stuff, rogue-nation.
I do fully believe we are marching into some sort of global cataclysmic event that will rock us all.
Not sure what it is. It's just a strong gut feeling I've had.
As far as eclipses go, Jesus died during an eclipse.
That means something in his eyes. They're significant in my own humble opinion. But then again, I see all of it as significant, in some way, when it comes to God's plan.
I see signs as just God's way of showing us His Mighty Hand doing work to fix this eventually.
I believe this world will endure a slow and very painful death.
It will not happen suddenly like most people think.
That's what I believe, at least.

With the amount of eclipse end times theories I see everywhere right now, I can see the potential for some very shady shenanigans going down.
It would be a perfect time to make a big move.
