You might consider 
   
  Looking for the blessed hope and appearance of the great God even our savior Jesus Christ.
   
  The omission of the article before óùôçñïò [SWTHROS] might well indicate that they are to be considered to refer to one and the same person.  èåïí åðéöáíç êáé êïéíïí ôïõ áíèñùðéíïõ âéïõ óùôçñá [QEON EPIFANH KAI KOINON TOU ANQRWPINOU BIOU SWTHRA was used of Julius Caesar.

  Yea or nay on this translation of Titus 2:13?

"Looking forward to the happy hope and the appearance of the glory of the
god's VIP and our savior anointed Jesus"

The part I most want to focus on is the treatment of the genitives. The term
"VIP" is obviously anachronistic and abbreviated. I would ask you to indulge
me on that, knowing that what I understand it to literally say is "the god's
great one."
