Read Revelation 17:1-18 before you meet.
In a few lines
The angel asks John, "Why do you wonder?" (17:7), and then says, "I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her" (17:7). And he says, "For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind" (17:17).
The verse to carry
“For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.”
