I Time Traveled to Babylon and Watched the Fiery Furnace (Daniel 3)

Ellie and Adah, a young exile from Jerusalem, hide at the edge of the plain of Dura on the day Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refuse to bow to King Nebuchadnezzar's golden image (Daniel 3). Studying Daniel 1 to 7 for Come, Follow Me? This is what it might have looked like. This episode is an AI-generated reenactment. Ellie and Adah are invented characters. The fourth figure in the fire is never shown, and every verse Ellie reads is quoted word for word from the King James Version. Why about 580 BC? Daniel doesn't give a year. We set it a few years after Jerusalem and its temple were destroyed in 586 BC, when exiles like Adah were still grieving their home (Psalm 137), and close to when Babylon's blue glazed Ishtar Gate went up (about 575 BC).
