The Jewish sages began to compile the Talmud during the Babylonian exile. This was done due to the fear that the knowledge of the Oral Torah and other knowledge and records would be lost due to repeated persecution.
Additionally, the HafTorot were decided due to the Babylonian prohibition against studying the Torah. Although the use of the Torah was banned, study and use of the rest of the Tanach (Jewish Bible) was allowed. In response to this, the sages selected readings from the Neviìm (Prophets) section that corresponded with the Torah parshot that would have normally been read during prayer.

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.
