God is Great, Jesus is Great. revisited

Titus 2:13 προσδεχόμενοι τὴν μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,

In the manifestation of divine glory ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης, Jesus shares in the diving glory even if μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος are not coreferential. If we read μεγάλου θεοῦ as a reference to God the Father and both θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος as qualifying τῆς δόξης, we see Jesus Christ sharing in and manifesting the glory that belongs to God (cf. John 17). In other words, Jesus glory is the glory of the Great God τῆς δόξης τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ. Jesus Christ is exalted by reading τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ as a reference to God the Father. 

If this interpretation is adopted, then the point is that the glory of two persons (God and Christ) is made manifest through the appearing of one person (Christ). What is often not recognized is that this interpretation affirms the deity of Christ because δόξα refers to the divine nature. If this view is adopted, it would be expressed as the appearing of the glory of the great God and of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Repeating glory would be even clearer, hence the appearing of the glory of the great God and the glory of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. [1]
