On the Streets of Babylon: X marks the spot?

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

The Streets of Babylon seem to be astir with this "X" marking the spot thing.......

"Aug. 21, 2017, something is going to happen in the United States that has not happened since 1918.

On that date, a total solar eclipse will be visible all the way from the east coast to the west coast. Incredibly, another rare solar eclipse of this nature will move across the country just seven years later in 2024. If you plot the projected courses of these two solar eclipses on a map, you will find that they form a giant "X" across the continental United States. ... and many are speculating about what this giant "X" might mean.

This is something that does not happen very often, and that is why it is so extraordinary that another solar eclipse will be visible in large portions of the nation just seven years later in 2024. When you chart the courses of both eclipses on a map, you see that they form a giant "X" right over the center of the country.
Could this giant "X" have some sort of meaning?

According to The Washington Post, some believe that "the two eclipses that are slated to travel across the United States in 2017 and 2024, together marking an X across the nation, could be the starting and ending signs bookmarking a seven-year period of awful tribulations that Revelations says waits in store for nonbelievers who are left behind on Earth when the rapture occurs."

An area spanning parts of Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky will be the nexus of the next two total solar eclipses to occur in the U.S., on Aug. 21, 2017, and April 8, 2024. Because the 2017 eclipse travels across the country from northwest to southeast and the 2024 eclipse makes its way through the nation from southwest to northeast, the two paths cross each other and create a zone of overlapping totality of almost 9,000 square miles, or roughly the size of New Jersey.

.....warning for years about the catastrophic earthquake that will someday strike the New Madrid fault zone. The heart of this "X" falls precisely in the area where we would expect such an earthquake, and when I first saw this map that is what immediately got my attention." Charisma
