So why is Yahweh ordering armies to attack and conquer cities and villages if he is the higher nature? That doesn't seem like a very high natured thing to do.
Earth is not the weigh station, it is what is being weighed. You are the dweller on the threshold, the medium through which the unseen sees what is seen.
What is seen? Earth. What is unseen? The one seeing it. We are the dweller on the threshold because we are both body and unseen, we are the Son (image) of God. Both male (unseen) and female (seen).
You are so close. Keep seeking brother.

If true, then our lower nature will die off as the higher nature rises. We all see salvation.

WOW! Curse Yahweh / God / Satan and you are simply examining your own image.
The dweller/guardian on the threshold in mystical/spiritual/magical tradition is usually the presence that welcomes the student/shaman/searcher before he enters the spiritual/magical realms, and protect this realm from the intrusion of unauthorized wanderers. In a sense, it's some kind of censor in us that prevents us from seeing and roaming the spiritual realms 24/7. You have to go past that censor to see behind the veil, behind day-to-day physical reality.
"This Dweller of the Threshold meets us in many shapes. It is the Cerberus guarding the entrance to Hades; the Dragon which St. Michael (spiritual will-power) is going to kill; the Snake which tempted Eve, and whose head will be crushed by the heel of the woman; the Hobgoblin watching the place where the treasure is buried, etc. He is the king of evil, who will not permit that within his kingdom a child should grow up, which might surpass him in power; the Herod before whose wrath the divine child Christ has to flee into a foreign country, and is not permitted to return to his home (the soul) until the king (Ambition, Pride, Vanity, Self-righteousness, etc.) is dethroned or dead."
The Dweller on the Threshold must be confronted by every aspirant—usually at an early stage of his progress into the unseen worlds—and is one of the main causes of obsession
It's not a question of defeating your lower nature. It's about accepting it as a part of you, forgiving it for the bad things it did, and then living life with it as an ally instead of an enemy. What you call "lower nature" is simply the very ancient survival instinct that wants to put your survival and reproduction above all. It's not a bad force, without it there is no life. It's only a bad force when uncontrolled.
Both your lower nature (survival instinct) and higher nature (love, intellect, reason) are part of you, of your nature, of the divine paradigm. Thinking it's one versus the other is being stuck in dualism. It's about reconciling them.
