The best place to start is in Genesis.  One is the # of God
since 
He was alone "in the beginning."  Two is the # of
separation as in 
day and night.  Three is the # of completeness: Tree, fruit
and seed.  Four is the # of the "lumenaries"
(figuratively).  Five is the 
# of multitudes.  Six is the # of beast and of man.  Seven
is the 
# of judgement and eight is the # of new beginnings.

Other implied #'s are 10 as the # of man's government of
man.
12 is the # of God's government of His people.  Multiples
of 100
(10 x 10 or 10 "foursquare") and 1000 (10 foursquare,
foursquare) respectively imply completeness as does 144 (12
x 12 or 12 "foursquare").  40 is the # for the rite of
passage.

Don't read too much into these.

Rhema is the Greek word for "word" and means specifically
the 
"spoken" word as in the "sound."  Logos, also a Greek term
for "word" implies the "idea" that the word implies as well
as the sound or written word itself.
