Answer 1

Revelation 13:

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast [how many are under his power]: for it is the number of a man [it's people]; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. [decimal 66.6=percentage of the world population 66.6% or 2/3 of the world, the other 1/3 of the world claim a connection with God.]



All people in your immediate family [legally under marriage, your offspring], have your last name, so they are the number of your name.

To see this term used in the Bible, so that we understand how God uses the term, see Numbers 1.
