Four
From Sensus Plenior
God has spoken through four offices, each of which represents a role of Christ (Priest, prophet, judge and king).
The number four represents God's word as revealed through four 'voices'. Since it is two twos, the voices map to four combinations of heaven and earth. If we represent two as H,E, then we map four as HH, HE, EH, EE.
