GMT time is later than EST (Eastern Standard Time)
It seems to that 5:42 in EST (Eastern Standard Time) should be later than 5:42 in GMT (5:42 happens in London first, then on East coast of US), so that the EST value should be larger for GMT, in absolute UT clock ticks.
Consider

Now note the +05 in:
(cl-date-time-parser:parse-date-time "1976-07-04T05:42:00+05") ==> 2414277720
which is same as EST - however, EST is defined as UTC-05:00, not UTC+05:00
Thus it appears to me that abbreviated time zones are reversed in sign.
My sincere apologies if I got something very wrong!
