English term or phrase: union station
Some say God is through with Israel, but that’s not true. Revelation is like a great union station or an airport where trains or planes come in from everywhere

Si parla dell'Apocalisse 7:4-17

Italian translation:stazione centrale / grande stazione ferroviaria
Explanation:
A union station (also known as a union terminal and, in Europe, a joint station) is a railway station at which the tracks and facilities are shared by two or more separate railway companies, allowing passengers to connect conveniently between them. (Wikipedia)

La definizione tecnica non è importante, nel tuo caso, quello che conta è la metafora, una stazione grande e trafficata...

  -> grazie! :-)
agree  BdiL: Etwas du kennst NICHT...?! Gee...nepro!! Ma forse anche "snodo ferroviario" potrebbe funzionare, perché stazione dà l'idea che si arriva e lì si sta, mentre snodo che ci si arriva e poi si può procedere (con la Rivelazione). ;)* MAu

  -> grassie! "snodo ferroviario" mi sa più di tecnico, con "stazione centrale" penso al viavai di arrivi e partenze (che poi la rivelazione, secondo il testo, "comes in"... :-)))
agree  Fabrizio Zambuto: stazione centrale mi piace :) e da Bolognese, non potevo che approvare

stazione centrale


Explanation:
D'istinto direi così, il paragone è tra l'Apocalisse e un grande centro di smistamento dove arrivano treni o aerei da ogni dove. Specificherei "stazione centrale" nel senso che non è una stazioncina di periferia, ma un grande snodo di comunicazione. Ciao e buon lavoro
