>>Who is the 'barren woman' of Isaiah 54?<<

She is composed of the Jews who were dispersed around the world and will be brought back to the land of Israel.

"For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back. In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you," says the LORD your Redeemer. "To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again. Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you. (Isaiah 54:7-10)

They are genetic Jews and are not Gentiles.

"See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc; no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD.(Isaiah 54:16-17)

He is clearly addressing the Jews and not Gentiles.

I think you’re right on this one. I was comparing the barren woman to proselytes, who had to go through Israel in order to approach God. But I think you’re correct..

That cannot be - The Jews are the married wife. (see Is 52)
