The Turker’s Gospel

The Bible According To Mechanical Turk Workers

Revelation 3:1-10

Revelation 3:1 - The things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that hast a name that thou livest, and art dead; And undo the angel of the church in Sardis write.

Revelation 3:2 - Be aware of your weaknesses and fix them because I know God thinks that you’re not perfect. [Turker's Comment: This sentence refers specifically to fixing the wrong things and not amplifying the good things.]

Revelation 3:3 - Think back on how you have taken in things, and keep steady and repent. If you will not look at this, I will sneak up on you and you will not know when I am coming for you.

Revelation 3:4 - There are a few of you, even in the city of Sardis, who have not down evil. They are worthy to walk with the just. [Turker's Comment: There are still a few people who have sinned greviously even in the most sinful cities.]

Revelation 3:5 - The person who overcomes will also be clad in white; I will not remove his name from the list of life, but instead I will tell my Father and his angels. [Turker's Comment: If you believe, Jesus will keep you alive through God.]

Revelation 3:6 - Anyone who can hear can listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. [Turker's Comment: Everyone is able to hear what the Spirit is saying.]

Revelation 3:7 - He wrote to the angel of the church of Philadelphia that he has holy truthful sayings and that he has David’s key, and whatever he opens or closes cannot be opened or closed by any other man;; [Turker's Comment: Someone is writing to an angel that he is true and holy, and what he does cannot be reversed by any other man.]

Revelation 3:8 - I know what you have done: I am rewarding you with an opportunity that can not be taken away: you are not completely weak, and have obeyed, and showed loyalty to me. [Turker's Comment: The speaker (presumably God) appreciates the good deeds and loyalty shown by the listener and is giving them a reward that can not be taken away.]

Revelation 3:9 - Look, those people who say they are Jews, but really aren’t and lie will become like a synagogue of Satan. So I will make them come and bow down to you, and they will know that I have loved you. [Turker's Comment: The author is angry with a group of people he designates as the Synagogue of Satan.]

Revelation 3:10 - Since you contentedly waited as I told you to, I promise to protect you during times of trial that will occur all over the earth to tempt everyone living on it. [Turker's Comment: Jesus speaks to His children, saying that he will reward their endurance by protecting them during the future, when very difficult hardships will affect everyone in the whole world.]
