Isaiah 31:1 "Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horseman, because they are strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord.
In this scripture there is a warning to Holy Ghost filled believers. Egypt represents a type of bondage, and bondage is representative of sin. Therefore, Isaiah says woe unto them that turn back to sin (perdition) when times get rough or when trials and tribulations come. A lot of Christians nowadays turn right back to their old ways when the journey gets rough. Some people trust more in carnal material things such as houses, cars, jobs (chariots). While others trust in men such as the president, the pope, doctors, lawyers (horseman) because of their status in society. But no one wants to look to God for help, nor will they seek the Lord and follow him.
Once you have been saved, there is no help in turning back to sin. When we were unsaved we created a lot of problems that we couldn't get out of. So it doesn't make sense to go back to that same sinful state, once we have experienced the presence of the Lord.
