I suppose you wanted to express that Christ's resurrection created an unbridgeable gap between the old and the new world. If so, why are you still using texts from the OT?

This divine / human Singularity is only "destructive" to the fallen Satanified world system, sin and death.
When Paul says that he as crucified with Christ, he meant that the killing off power of Christ's death was available to him in Christ. Paul could
"put to death the practices of the body" through the Holy Spirit.
Bad habits, evil moods, fallen temperments, foul thoughts, fallen speech and fleshy words along with old Adamic behaviors could all be put to death and replaced by expression of the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
The godless world enfluence is crucified by walking in the Spirit of the resurrected Christ. In that regard this exloding Singularity is destructive of all that stands in the way of God's eternal purpose.
All this killing power is compressed into the One who resurrected and is available to the believer. All the enlivening power also is there. So like I said it is the
"bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ" - the supply to kill off the bad and to give life to the divine.
Both the destructive power and the building power are part of
"the unsearchable riches of Christ". Unsearchable - in that there is more then we need.
Christ's resurrection has made suicide obsolete.
Christ's resurrection has made reincarnation, (which is a lie), obsolete also.
One need not kill himself out of dispair. The unfixable was crucified with Christ on His cross. In the Holy Spirit is the terminating power to free us from these negative things.
One need not be reincarnated. In the Holy Spirit is the new beginning. In fact each time one turns his heart to the Spirit, there is a new beginning.
So this exploding Singularity of the resurrected Jesus has all we need in His receivable and available form as life giving Spirit.
"the last Adam became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45) . In the
"life giving Spirit" is the
"BOUNTIFUL SUPPLY of the Spirit of Jesus Christ (Philppians 1:19)
