Moved to the Ask a Pro section - it's best to ask questions like this over there, and not in General.

Are you asking if you can get the time of your local computer (Real life and not MC time)?

nope, the only way to do that is to use the http interface to access the internet and get the time there

Yeah you would have to connect to a php website or something. I asked the same question a while back, too.

Indeed, easiest way is to sign up at 000webhost.com or any other hosting service and creating a file 'time.php' with simple content like this:
And in Lua something like:
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('UTC'); // use correct timezone
echo date('h:i:s A', time()); // gives something like '05:12:54 PM'
?>
And in Lua something like:
local content = http.get("http://www.example/com/time.php")
local time = (content~=nil) and content.readAll() or "time server couldn't be reached"
