Jeffrey R. Holland: Jesus is called "God" (θεος) in Titus 2:13

In his book, Witness for His Names, Jeffrey R. Holland understands “God” in Titus 2:13 to be a reference to, not the Father, but Jesus:

 

Christ Great God and Our Saviour Jesus

TITUS 2:13 (Jeffrey R. Holland, Witness for His Names [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 2019], 32; repeated elsewhere on pp. 89, 135)

 

For those familiar with the Granville Sharp Rule, and Daniel Wallace's scholarship nuancing it, this is rather interesting, as the KJV is ambiguous and favours the Father being the θεος in the verse.
