Well grammatically the subject is God who became incarnate in Jesus Christ.
Well if not Jesus, who else would the author be identifying God with?

"grammatically"??? The word "God" does not appear at all. The mistaken insertion of "God" into the sentence arose from a copyist blot, turning an omicron into a theta, followed by a misinterpretation of theta-sigma as an abbreviation of theos.
The author is not identifying God with anybody.
But the 'he' is obvious, in context.
Can you give me what you think the text should say?
is it ok for mee to butt in
Indeed, the sacred secret of this godly devotion is admittedly great: ‘He was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, appeared to angels, was preached about among nations, was believed upon in [the] world, was received up in glory.’
1 timothy3;16
talking about the (He ) the He is Jesus , he was manifest in flesh because his father sent him to earth to be born out of a woman JOHN 3;16 ,as we all here realize,
yes, he was sent to the earth by his father JEHOVAH.
and as the verse tells us he was declared righteous in spirit
Why, even Christ died once for all time concerning sins, a righteous [person] for unrighteous ones, that he might lead you to God, he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit
1 peter 3;18
and what happened when he went back to heaven ? the verse in 1 peter 3;22 tells us
He is at God’s right hand, for he went his way to heaven; and angels and authorities and powers were made subject to him.1 peter 3;22
But this [man] offered one sacrifice for sins perpetually and sat down at the right hand of God, hebrews 10;12
as we can see from the bible he is not God, he was at Gods right hand.
from then on awaiting until his enemies should be placed as a stool for his feet. hebrews 10;13
yes Jesus after going back to heaven , did not recieve his kingship straight away he had to wait until 1914 (the end of the Gentile times )(appointed times of the nations) but then he was GIVEN great aurthority DANIEL 7;13-14.
AND THE OUTCOME IS VERY GOOD
Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. 25 For he must rule as king until [God] has put all enemies under his feet. 26 As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing. 27 For [God] "subjected all things under his feet." But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.
