The situation with Saul was somewhat similar to what Jonah experienced when he was commanded to preach to Nineveh ,
Remember that Jonah refused to obey, the Lord intervened  and  INTERFERED ,  INPEEDED  ,  HINDERED    ,  OBSTRUCTED  his path 
Jon 1:3  ... Jonah....  (  refusing  to  obey   )  ... rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD  
the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea,............. , so that the ship was like to be broken.   Jonah openly admitted to the men of the ship that he fled from the presence of the LORD,  Jonah then said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you.
The men of the ship tried their very best to save the life of Jonah down to the very last moment just before their lives would be lost -     So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.  BUT.....  the Lord is  INTERFERING ,  INPEEDEDING,  HINDERING,  and  OBSTRUCTING his path forcing Jonah to obey  Jon 1:17  Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.     - he  then,   after  all  of  this   -   decides to obey,
so  it  was    _   with Saul of Tarshish.   Although  Saul  was  truly  a  believer  who  believed  in  the  Lord  of  his  fore - fathers,
  Saul  in  his  heart  believed  that  God  wanted  him  to  defend  Israel  against  the  Romans  who  were  demanding  that  the  followers  of  the resurrected  Lord  Yahashua  be  hunted  down  and  killed  and  his  movement  be eradicated
Saul  believed  he was  doing  the right  thing  but  God     -  INTERFERED ,  INPEEDED  ,  HINDERED    ,  OBSTRUCTED  his path    
It  is  saving  grace  how that the  Lord    INTERVENED  in the life of  Saul and he  was given  vindication, evidence and struck blind by the wisdom of the Lord,  Saul  accepted and obeyed unto salvation and faith upon the Lord  Yahashua  saving his soul and leading  sinners  to  believe  upon  The  Anointing,  The  Eternal  Spirit  Of  The  Holy   - the  only  born  son  of  God
although   -   the   Lord   INTERFERED ,  INPEEDED  ,  HINDERED    ,  OBSTRUCTED  the  path  of   Jonah  whom   was  sent  to  deliver  revelation
   Saul  however,  was  given  revelation  upon  the   INTERFERENCE ,  INPEEDED  ,  HINDERENCE    ,  OBSTRUCTION  of  his  path   
 the   Lord   INTERFERED ,  INPEEDED  ,  HINDERED    ,  OBSTRUCTED  the  path  of   Jonah  to  deliver  revelation  and  bring  salvation   to Nineveh.,
praise God for  his   INTERFERENCE ,  INPEEDED  ,  HINDERENCE   and   OBSTRUCTION
Just imagine  if  the  Lord  had  allowed  the  Trinitarians  to  produce  a  Bible   TRANSLATION   into  a  modern   language  before  the  late   1400s  -    the  entirety  of  all  scripture  translated  would have  resulted  into  absolute perversity      -  the   Lord   INTERFERED ,  INPEEDED  ,  HINDERED    ,  OBSTRUCTED  the  path  of  Trinitarians  preventing  them  from  translating  his  holy  word  for  nearly   2000  years.
