I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

מסכת שבת דף קי"ח ע"ב: אמר רבי יוחנן בשם רבי שמעון בר יוחאי, אלמלי משמרין ישראל שתי שבתות כהלכתן - מיד נגאלים, שנאמר: "כה אמר ה' לסריסים אשר ישמרו את שבתותי", ואחריו כתוב: "והביאותים אל הר קדשי".
My point was it's two Shabbatot - not one.
However, I googled and found this Dvar Torah, which quotes the following Talmud Yerushalmi:
אמר ר' לוי אילו היו ישראל משמרין שבת אחת כתיקנה מיד היה בן דוד בא
