No-one predicted the Babylonian Captivity. It was once thought that Isaiah did, because he wrote of the times of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, but then began to write of the Babylonian Exile. However, scholars now know that the Book of Isaiah was really written by two different people. Isaiah, known today as First Isaiah for convenience, wrote about the time of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, just as he outlined in the introduction to the Book. Another, anonymous author, living during the Babylonian Exile, added to the Book, based on his personal experiences during the Exile.
