Metaphorically oh yea you betcha!
My recollection (when reading that incident in the NT it was like watching a Technicolor movie) is that Jesus plumb knocked Saul/Paul off the horse, and he was gobsmacked!
Blinded for three days after being in the presence of the Glory of God face to face with Jesus.
One of the most compelling changes in direction of a life in the Bible. A chosen vessel unto the Lord.
