It looks like Tor thinks your system clock is roughly 7 hours behind the
correct time. Is the timezone correctly configured on your system or did
you recently change your timezone or change your clock?

If I take a guess, I'd say your system is configured with UTC as the timezone,
but the clock itself is set for your local time. Do you know how to confirm
this and can you confirm this?
