It's possible but it would help if you could say which time zone the second one is.
The standard solution would be to convert them both to a canonical format (maybe epoch, that is, seconds since Jan 1 1970) and then the problem is just how to format the result back as a human-readable time expression. In what form would you like the output?
I would use Perl or Python because they come with handy libraries which can do the grunt work for you.

named-journalprint
NAMED-JOURNALPRINT(8) BIND9 NAMED-JOURNALPRINT(8)
NAME
named-journalprint - print zone journal in human-readable form
SYNOPSIS
named-journalprint {journal}
DESCRIPTION
named-journalprint prints the contents of a zone journal file in a human-readable form.
Journal files are automatically created by named when changes are made to dynamic zones (e.g., by nsupdate). They record each addition or
deletion of a resource record, in binary format, allowing the changes to be re-applied to the zone when the server is restarted after a
shutdown or crash. By default, the name of the journal file is formed by appending the extension .jnl to the name of the corresponding zone
file.
named-journalprint converts the contents of a given journal file into a human-readable text format. Each line begins with "add" or "del",
to indicate whether the record was added or deleted, and continues with the resource record in master-file format.
