Lightning Boots? Science fiction?

Part of the equipment of the Praetorian Guard in futuristic Rome are Lightning Boots.

In the novel, Mark is trying to outrun a lion, which is in hot pursuit: “Mark jumps to his feet, and as he does, he notices that yet another lion has emerged from the trees and is bearing down on him. He takes off running, calculating that his Lightning Boots should enable him to outrun a lion. He hopes his calculations are correct because he can’t quite remember how fast lions run.”

Maybe 35mph? I drew inspiration from legends of chivalry in which the hero acquired “boots of swiftness.”

But is this “sci-fi” touch too futuristic? Pictured are bionic boots that allow the wearer to run 25mph.

 

“Excellent action-adventure science fiction!”*

*”Something for all readers! Futuristic with a hint of end time prophecy. Hope they make it a movie.” Review on Amazon.

In Matt. 24:24, Jesus says that in the end times “false prophets and false messiahs will perform signs and wonders.” In II Thess. 2:19-20, Paul refers to the man of sin who will wield “counterfeit power” and perform “signs and miracles.” But how does supernatural power square with tech power? The Bible makes no explicit references to the technology that we have today, so how does all that fit with the rise of the antichrist as the New Testament describes him. My novel presents one possible scenario, including speculation on where technology may be taking us.
