The number "two" has two different meanings in the Bible. In most cases "two" indicates a joining together or unification. This is easy to see if we consider the conflicts we tend to have between our "hearts" and our "heads" -- between what we want and what we know. Our "hearts" tell us that we want pie with ice cream for dinner; our "heads" tell us we should have grilled chicken and salad. If we can bring those two together and actually want what's good for us, we'll be pretty happy. We're built that way -- with our emotions balanced against our intellect -- because the Lord is built that way. His essence is love itself, or Divine Love, the source of all caring, emotion and energy. It is expressed as Divine Wisdom, which gives form to that love and puts it to work, and is the source of all knowledge and reasoning. In His case the two aspects are always in conjunction, always in harmony. It's easy also to see how that duality is reflected throughout creation: plants and animals, food and drink, silver and gold. Most importantly, it's reflected in the two genders, with women representing love and men representing wisdom. That's the underlying reason why conjunction in marriage is such a holy thing. So when "two" is used in the Bible to indicate some sort of pairing or unity, it means a joining together. In rare cases, however, "two" is used more purely as a number. In these cases it stands for a profane or unholy state that comes before a holy one. This is because "three" represents a state of holiness and completion (Jesus, for instance, rose from the tomb on the third day), and "two" represents the state just before it.

582. 13:5 And it was given a mouth speaking great and blasphemous things. This symbolically means that the doctrine teaches evils and falsities.

A mouth speaking symbolizes doctrine, preaching and discourse (no. 452). To speak great and blasphemous things means, symbolically, to teach evils and falsities. For greatness is predicated of goodness, and in an opposite sense, of evil (nos. 656, 663, 896, 898), and blasphemies symbolize the Word's truths falsified, thus falsities. What blasphemies symbolize here specifically may be seen in no. 571 above.

The doctrine teaches evils because it dissociates works of the law, thus things one ought to do, from salvation, and anyone who does this becomes caught up in spiritual evils, which are sins.
