title: Moment.js resolve timezone offset
body: <p>I'm working in an Angular 6 front end and receive from another system time stamps which have no time zones (C# backend, DateTime). I suspect that javascript is automatically adding the local time zone to Date objects.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <p>Receiving from backend: <code>2018-10-15T07:53:00.000Z</code></p>
  
  <p>When console logging: <code>console.log(timestamp) // Mon Oct 15 2018 09:53:00 GMT+0200</code></p>
  
  <p>I am using moment.js and already tried <code>moment.utc()</code> and <code>moment(DATE).utc()</code>. But it still adds the local time zone especially because I have to re-transform my moment objects back to the type <code>Date</code> with <code>.toDate()</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I resolve the time zone difference and get back a utc date to work with or the same structure as received?</p>
