A LocalDateTime does not have a time zone, and getSecond() only returns the seconds part of the "human broken down time", so it isn't the same. A Timestamp represents an instant in time, and the seconds part is seconds since the epoch. You probably need something like (I did not even attempt to compile this):
long epochSeconds = ldt.toEpochSeconds(ZoneOffset.UTC); I believe the nanoseconds part looks correct. If you just want the current time, you can use: timestamp = Timestamps.fromMillis(System.currentTimeMillis()); https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/java/com/google/protobuf/util/Timestamps Hope that helps!
