The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed...

Come like a Flood of *LIGHT*

Come like a Flood of *LIGHT*

You originally emphasised the need for a literal interpretation when you said:

Many students of bible prophecy have missed the signing of the 7 year peace treaty in Israel simply because they have not taken God's word literally

Please explain how a "flood of light" makes more sense from the standpoint of a literal interpretation than a "flood of water".

Daniel 9:26, 'And after sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself: And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end shall be with a flood, and until the end of the war desolations are determined.
When taking up a literal interpretation, one must not arbitrarily pick and choose when to interpret literally and when to interpret figuratively. The standard of interpretation must be consistent throughout the bible.

Strongs (H07858) indicates that flood means deluge...not necessary water... Here's what I found (you probably knew this :-) -

7858 sheteph sheh'-tef

or sheteph (shay'-tef) ; from 7857; a deluge (literally or figuratively):--flood, outrageous, overflowing. see HEBREW for 07857
