A nearly 50-year-old prophecy from the late Bible teacher Charles Capps is gaining renewed attention.
On Feb. 1, 1978, Capps delivered what he called a word from the Lord that a “financial inversion” was coming. In that prophecy, Capps said the world’s economy would rise and fall. Still, believers who obeyed Scripture, walked by faith and sowed financially would see an unusual transfer of resources into the work of the Gospel. He spoke of vast “reservoirs of wealth” stored up by the wicked and said the time would come when those reservoirs would be “drained into the Gospel of Jesus Christ” so that “there shall be no lack in the kingdom.”

At the time, the prophecy was treated as interesting but distant. Capps died in 2014, and the word was archived among many of his teachings on faith, confession and biblical prosperity. Today, the 1978 word is being pulled forward again as many believers ask where this season is heading.
Bishop Alan DiDio says the timing Capps foresaw is not generic or timeless but tied to real economic cycles. In a recent teaching, he said he believes a new reshaping is forming as we approach 2026. He points to AI disruption, looming layoffs and what he believes could become the popping of an AI investment bubble. DiDio says this convergence may serve as the delivery system for the “financial inversion” Capps described.
That doesn’t mean believers chase hype or headlines. Scripture calls us to “test all things” and measure every word against the Bible. The correct response is not fear, cynicism or impulse. The proper response is to prepare spiritually, stay in Scripture, honor God with our giving and stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit in this season.

Many have prayed for provision, open doors and multiplied resources. For those people, this prophecy is encouraging. If the Lord has indeed spoken, the days ahead are not only about volatility. They can also be about faithful stewardship, wise positioning and seeing God’s covenant provision show up in ways this generation has long believed and prayed for.
