The Babylonian exile was caused by the conquest of the Kingdom of Judah by the Babylonian Empire in 586 BCE. This was a result of the political and religious unrest in the region, as well as the failure of the Judean kings to submit to Babylonian rule. The Babylonians destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem and forced many Judeans into exile in Babylon for about 50 years.

Who predicted the Babylonian Exile?

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.
