Seven Minutes to Midnight is a Very Non-Subtle reference to the Doomsday Clock, a symbolic clock face maintained by the Board of Directors at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Midnight on the clock represents the threat of destruction by nuclear war.

i would not be surprised if they used the time with a double meaning--nearing a possible catastrophic event and something significant happening to one or more of the Heroes at seven to Midnight.

I also bet it has more significance to the specific episode other than the time for the explosion being nearer. While I bet, the doomsday clock is where they got the name, I think it will also have plot importance in the episode.
